What type of nem is this

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