RBTA w/flourescent green spots on the base?

[bradleym]

Has anyone ever seen this? Is it common? Does anyone have pictures of this on a larger RBTA?

More/better pics in case its not clear in the first one. Pretty cool, just wondering if anyone has seen it before. Sorry about the quality, this thing is tiny.

I'll try to remember to take a picture and post, but I have a *large* RBTA with some green on the "base." No idea if its common or not.

That would be great thanks! I have never seen a BTA flouresce anywhere besides the tentacles before, so I found this very interesting.

And yea technically the "base" is called the column, but not everyone knows what that is, so I flip-flop between terms depending on my mood.

That's a TINY bubble tip! Look at it compared to the bubble algae... I've never seen a BTA so small. Colors look good, though.

Yea, those are 1.5 inch frag plugs in there with it LOL. Now, wrap your mind around the fact that it is a clone from another just like it. It got about 1.5 inches and split, and now I have this clone from the original owner.

Ah i didnt realize you literally meant green on the column - mine is greenish on the top and on some of the tentacles.

I see, I see. My fault. For what it's worth, that is a gorgeous RBTA! Are the tips a different color as well?

98% of the rbta is rose colored - but there are streaks of green. My rbta is simply massive - during the day it expands and expands and expands. Takes up a lot of real estate. I bought it from another reefer with his two clown fish. Of course in my tank the clownfish decided to hang out in other coral.

Gotcha. That is a very nice RBTA. Thanks for posting.
