Majano vs Baby BTA

[Bill Nye]

I just traded with a local guy for a small bubble tip anemone. We met in a dark parking lot so I really couldn't get a good look at it but the guy assured me it would get bigger as it inflated again.

I have no reason not to trust this guy but it seems pretty small (about the size of a quarter) and looks a little bit like a majano I guess. I did some searching on the goggle machine and many people claim the main way to tell the difference between small BTA's and a majano is whether it has white lines around its mouth. This anemone has those stripes so I feel ok but just want to confirm.

Hard to tell, looks like a bta.

But seriously does Bill Nye really need help with this question? And what is he doing in back alley late night transactions?

Here is a shot with the lights on..

Even Bill Nye needs a helping hand once in a while..

does it have any green coloring? You have it in QT. If your not sure which one it is, then wait a couple weeks. If its a RBTA then there will only be one. If its a Majano then there will probably be 4 or 5 in a very short period of time. Majanos spread very quickly, Anemones don't.

True enough :lol: (Majano's are anemones too)
