purple BTA in the diver's den from LA?

Don't be suprised if you see these in your local LFS. I hear that several were collected.

Here's a photo of what these probably look like under white light. Pretty anemones, certainly, but I think I would call them purple-tipped green BTA's. There are a lot of people out there who think the zooxanthellae under actinic lighting looks purple - when in fact it is about as brown as brown can be I've seen many a brown mushroom sold as purple Ask for a photo of this anemone in full sunlight and you might be surprised at what you see

That would be awesome if my LFS stores started getting these in. I love mine and would not mind a few others.

Very nice tulsa pd. I hope to see it on the OMAS and COMAS boards when it splits

I would buy one in a second if my work got one in.

i wonder how they'll do in T5s

 

[triggerfish1976]

If they are like any other BTA then they should do great. I honestly find T-5's to be the most favorable lighting for BTA's.

BTW - I hope to have a couple of these on Wednesday through my LFS so I will post pics if they come in.

You have to find out if those are eggs in the tentacles or what, even if it takes snipping a tentacle off to find out.

I think he just needs to clean his glass better. It appears that those "eggs" are algae on the glass the more I look at that picture.

I think they are in the tentacles. See how they change color if they are behind the purple spot on the tips

 

[Toddrtrex]

Honestly, no I don't. But had to use to switch out my good monitor at work for an old one for a couple of days, so it is harder to see things clearly.

Here is a pic of another so-called purple BTA that was just addded to LA's Divers Den. This one looks to be more of a green bta. It will be interesting to see how these all color up.

EZ what did they increase the price to? No new pics still waiting to get ahold of the newer style camera. YOU GUYS need to post your pics of them. I feel like this is a onesided relationship. SO COME AND POST YOUR PICS GUYS!
