What color is this BTA?

[pinkneyss]

I just bought this BTA for $40 & have never seen one like it. I know it's a little bleached, but I'm wondering what color it will be when it regains it's color. Anyone have any ideas?

Looks to be a slightly bleached brown to me, with a redish pink base.

brown with green maybee somewhat bleached for sure, still looks better than most that people post pics of

good luck

It's hard to say what color it will be. If you can get a picture of it when it deflates, it might be easier to tell.

Are you feeding it, and if so what, what size pieces, and how often? And if not, why not?!

I've been feeding it a small (about peanut size) piece of shrimp or squid every day.

The pics don't show the color perfectely. It's more of a pale yellow with lemon yellow tips. Are there green & brown bta's with pink bases? I've never seen one around here & that's what attracted me to it. Whatever color it is, I'm very happy I got it & so are my Percs.

I have green bta's with pink bases, they're not brown at all though. They have white speckles all over their disks and tentacles.

Keep feeding it, in a month or so you'll probably know.

Oh and when I got the original gbta I mentioned, it was very pale yellow-green as well with lighter tips. As it was fed and got in better shape it got darker green, the tips are still a bit lighter but also more green than yellowish now.

I saw it deflated today & it looked bright green. Will it keep the pink base or will this change as it regains it's color?

The base may darken, but it will probably remain pink.

You can't see much of the foot but here's what one of the clones looked like a month or so ago.

I got the original bta in August '06 and this is the color they look to be settled in with.

I use to have one of those GBTAs with the pink base. I sold it but was very nice.
