What type of nem is this

[xrayjeeper83]

So I saw this "chocolate bta" on LA reef and thought it looked cool so I ordered it. Got here today in decent shape considering it just flew across the US. But I'm questioning that its a BTA at all, looks more like a mag to me. I just recently lost a mag and really didn't feel like trying again with one at this moment.

What do y'all think. These are the best pics due to how its laying.

It's not a bta for sure,it really does look like a H mag.If you can get some cipro and set up a qt.It looks pretty good for being just shipped.

Yea gotta go to the LFS for some new water.

Quick question about a HT, all I need is clean well mixed water, heater, powerhead right? And maybe a glass cup for the nem to attach too?

And a piece of eggcrate to keep the nem away from the heater and power head.

...and maybe a light to encourage it to open up (unless the tank is near a window to provide it some sunlight).

Ive never seen him deal with mags. I've ordered the chocolates from him and they were all btas.

Once it settles in, take a photo of the mouth. We'll be able to give you an ID then. If the mouth has white lines, then it's a BTA.

I can't get a good pic but I do see white lines around the mouth.

I'm glad I might be wrong on it being a Mag. I want a nice collection of btas. Mags are out of my abilities right now

Nothing in the photo would believe me to think its not a BTA. Have seen many BTA's with that color foot. White lines around mouth is a good indication it is a bta

I say bta as well.

Can't tell until it settle out a bit and attach and inflate

Once again...Louis does not sell mags. I have purchased several of these from him and they are all btas no mags.

BTA

I over reacted cause it looked similar to my Mag when it went down hill. I am very happy with my purchase and will buy from LAreef again.

Just got back to this thread,I guessed it to be a mag,but the white lines around the mouth is a dead give away that it is a bta.
