Nice. Your LTA's tentacles looks healthy. My LTA tentacles got a few kinks, I initially thought from water movement. Now, looking at yours, I think it is from wars with Goniopora and the Superman Monti it is attacking. I got to move them our to give him more room.

Wow, that is very big.
How about the color?
Are they have good color in the wild?

No, I still have it in the other tank. I will post some pick of it when I have time to clean the tank.

That's awesome.

So is "BenDalat" your other name?

How long have you had that gig now and how long did it take him to fully acclimate? Was he treated in the beginning?
