Per your request, I agree that is normal coloration for some bta's(Bubble Tip Anemone) Popular/Common names are chosen and changed at will by sellers just to make the sale. Whether green, rose colored, or a brownish blue with yellow stripes, we have come to call them BTA's for one obvious reason.  The scientific name is Entacmaea quadricolor. That will never change. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

I watched the video that you told me about for splitting an anenome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5tDIoLROyA" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5tDIoLROyA Is this the one? I thought if they get a rip or an opening in thier tissue they die. But this works eh? ------------- Say what you think. Because those who mind don't matter.

 Just a few of hundreds of Rose Bubble Tip Anemone clones. They can be cut in half or allowed to clone themselves. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Not a sunburst IMO. Just a RBTA. Sunbursts are amazingly bright orange kind of colored with yellowish tips. ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas? I dont want them then. lol!" Ksmart |
