Flame Bubble Tip Anemone
- Thread starter solRNY
- Start date
I'll try to get you pictures tonight Lang. If I was to order another one, I would do the following.
-Slowly drip acclimate for 40 to 60 minutes, also make sure to add a small heater to bring up the water temperature.
-Place it roughly where you want it, but not right at the top of tank
-Place 2 or 3 layers of egg crate on top of tank above nem and remove 1 layer every 4 days
-DO NOT feed krill or large chunks of food. You shouldn't have to directly feed it at all, but a small squirt of rods or brine once a week shouldn't hurt

so my wife received the bta from RHS this morning, i thought she did a faaaaantastic job handling a live order, here are some pics:
a box within another box,
a bag within many other bags,
her aclimating it for 2hrs!!
here it is after probably 1hr in the tank,
here it is tonight with very indirect light, actually been COVERED from lighting for the whole day till now, hehehhee
here it is with flash on, not sure how valid this pic is, in a few days well move it towards the mh light,
this to me look much alike a RBTA, but my wife think different
not sure whats up with all those speckles.... kase, frofan does your FBTA have those speckles? i know our RBTA has those speckles!

thanks for your input and the beautiful pictures frofan!
i dont know what to think anymore, kase's FBTA is so distinctly different from the RHS's FBTA both in color and speckles...
Haddonisreef when you said "That for sure a flame bta!" which one are you referring to, mines, kase, or frofan?
to me the FBTA and the RBTA looks sooo similar that i thought this could happen as well, actually i explained to my wife that after sometime being in our tank they will all look the same, being soo similar i dont think it should warrent the premium cost,
please post some pic when you get a chance

I ment yours solRNY! A rbta and fbta are to diff kinds of bta still Eeqoador(sp) but form different part of the ocean! After togeather they will look the same as stated above by trading the alge that give them there color! A true fbta is way more stikning then a rbta! Just my .02

Maybe I'm being rude here, but who cares what this hobby has decided to call it. It's a really nice anemone! Be happy with it!
I don't believe the name is an issue, but the appearance for premium price. If you buy a black and red jaguar and get a black and pink with spots would you just take it and be happy? After all it is a nice car- just not what you paid a premium price for
