Looks like a bta.

expelling zooxanthellae from stress. Could be a temp, pH, alk, salinity etc. shock from not acclimating. It is definately recoverable. It's basically the "bleaching" process.

never bleached. i assume it was expelling waste since it ate yesterday and when it was done it shriveled up back to lil thing and puffed out to this now. and yes i was wondering if it isnt a BTA instead of a LTA. if so im gonna go talk to someone who sold it to me.

oh! after it ate. What did you feed it? A lot of people feed their nems food way too big for them (like silversides). The food is too big to easily digest and they often regurgitate for a net energy loss. If that is the case, try feeding smaller foods in the future like mysis.

i tried mysis but it wouldnt take it, so i broke a piece of silversides off like the head kinda less then half and it ate it fast

now he moved and once again looks like a LTA for sure i dont get it lol

 

[Ntvper]

bad fuzzy picture i know sorry bout that but it is what it is.

 

[2Addicted]

can you see the underside of the base? If it has verracue there then its lta. Im almost positive its bta though. Lta's are sand dwellers and their tentacles have a very different look than bta. It is not uncommon for a bta to have long stringy tentacles.

 

[Ntvper]

i know their sand dwellers and its finally moving to that area, remember its still new to my tank by three days. i bought the rock it was on just to be sure it dont get a hurt foot and its slowly making its way down. also whats a verracue?

 

[2Addicted]

verracue are little dots on the underside of the disk.

 

[Ntvper]

well after many experts we have come up with a quadracolor BTA, so in otherwords i got jipped lol. oh well i got an anemone thats cool

 

[Ntvper]

i love my anemone but its not behaving like its supposed to. like if its a bta it should have bubble arms not long skinny ones like these. fed it twice now since ive had it and it hasnt shown bubbles tentacles like its supposed to....not that im complaining i much rather have the long tentacle look over bubbles any day. but no matter how much i look at it i dont see spots on a verracue or whatever ya call it. but it is sorta buried in the sand now lol. anemone cant make up his mind can he.

To start, while this species is called the bubble-tip anemone in the hobby, many of them don't have bubble-tipped tentacles. While many of them do bear tentacles that have bubble-like swellings near their ends, many others lack the swellings, and instead have longer, thinner tentacles. These can easily be mistaken for a different species altogether, as they resemble most any other anemone with plain, long tentacles. Having or lacking bubbles isn't always permanent either, as they may come and go in some cases. For the most part, specimens that have relatively short tentacles may or may not develop or retain the bubble-like swellings over time, while those with long, thin tentacles typically lack them entirely. To the best of my knowledge, exactly why they have or don't have them hasn't been figured out, either.

 

[Ntvper]

cool reading thank you mine is more that green n brown with no vertical stripes on the tentacles. go figure i still like him no matter what though he is cool and eats from my hand....those steal tongs i bought were a waste of money lol.
