Sunburst BTA *PICS*

[RandysReef]

I got a new Sunburst Bubble Tip.:rollface:He has been in the tank for a week now and has settled in nicely.

He is currently eating Mysis Shrimp, soaked in Brightwell Aquatics Multi-Vitamin, and Selcon.

Here are a couple pics i took yesterday. Will update pics in a week or so...

I got it from a friend.
Stole it for $50, since we do a lot of business together, and he knew it was going to a good home, with loving house guests. (my clowns,lol)
This nem normally goes for $250+

I would love to culture some of the high end BTAs one day. Gorgeous.

He is almost 3 inches. I will regularly feed it, so it can grow as big as it can.
I will update pics frequently, so stay tuned:thumbsup:

Very nice BTA. It looks like one of the sunbursts that are being sold in Colorado. They get $350 each on another forum and typically sell same day as posted. If yours can be traced back to one of those BTAs then you did steal it for $50.

Pretty, I need to steal something like that! My anemones are basically brown and only look red/pink when just the blue lights are on at night.

How can someone tell if this is a colorado sunburst?

Trace the origon back to Colorado. Ask your friend where he got it. Most were sold by Gonzo. There are a few locals from that area that trade and sell them on different forums.

My friend that i bought it from, got it from a lfs. I know the lfs he bought it from so, next time i go i will ask where they order their sunbursts.

I am thinking its a CO because it has colored up way nicer than the picture i posted. the reddish pink is gone almost completely, and it is orange (like gonzos) with a green base on the tentacles. The yellow tips are getting brighter and brighter.

I know you guys are gonna bug me for pics, so i will try to get a few this weekend.

Update: Sunburst has colored up a lot since the first pics.

Here is a quick video of the sunburst with my clown hosting it.
It isn't opened all the way, just ate.
