do i have a bta or a lta ?

[heckfire]

now that this guy is getting healthy im thinking the lta that was forced upon me is actually a bta, what do you think?

 

[thefurrywarrior]

Unless that is the most different looking BTAs I have ever seen. I would say it is a LTA.

 

[elegance coral]

It actually resembles a condylactis to me.

 

[R33f3r]

My money is on LTA.

 

[heckfire]

a condi?? hmmm., its foot is attached to a rock, above the sand, that's what got me wondering , also the tips of his tentacles keep getting fatter

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

My guess is a condylactis as well.

 

[elegance coral]

That is Condylactis.

well it seems i may have the jerk of the anemone world, super!! Is their care similar to a lta?

 

[elegance coral]

Yes it's similar to an LTA in care requirements. Why is it the "jerk" of the anemone world?

 

[heckfire]

from what Ive gathered reading about it,, it seems to be very aggressive,, likes to move, and clowns will not host in it

 

[AquaReeferMan]

Red foot = Condy

It isn't any more aggressive than your typical host anemone. Like most other anemones, if the right conditions are met, the anemone doesn't typically move. You're right that it isn't a natural host to clown fish. Small clowns have been known to use them as a host in captivity though. The effects of this on the anemone may be questionable though.

There are quite a few species that can have a red or orange foot.
