Do all rbta have red base?

[hogben]

One of the btas I have I assume is a rose, that's what I purchased it as. It's foot is white, but lots of other rose btas I've seen have more red and purple base. I don't believe it's bleached but it's definately a rose right?

Looks like a rose to me FWIW - my rose has a cream foot and it's just fine.

Interesting thanks!

RBTAs can have pink or tan bases. It's difficult to tell for sure from your picture, but it does appear your RBTA's base is white, and that would mean that yes, it's bleached.

Yes, I have to agree. The oral disk is to white to be called normal. Its bleached. Give it small feedings of either pieces of shrimp or silversides everyday to help your anemone recover its zooxanthellae algae.

For sure, this one eats like a pig.

It gets chunks of silverside, and small but frequent portions of mysis, squid, and cyclopeeze. I havent tried krill yet but so far it takes anything.

The other red and brown one I have is a little picky with its food.
