BTA ID?

I think you mean foot. Roses have a greenish base. Rainbows would have some yellow and pink tips

On mine I’m referring to the area around the mouth is purple (zero green on these). Has the spider web looking white around the mouth. Is that black widow? That’s what I’ve though they were but also were told they were rose...idk but they look great!

It's just a common $30 RBTA. far from an acid wash

Is the base dark almost black?

They can be dark purple based, first pic is the largest (most stretched out) one. Other pics of smaller ones show the darker color and more definition of the white I mentioned.

definatly not a black widow..just a RBTA with different lighting the base would be greenish

under pure white there is no green in these, not just a lighting thing (I have rainbows also so the green is obvious in those). Doesn’t matter either way to me, just saying, every pic of a black widow I’ve ever seen is just a Rose nem with purple disk and white little markings around the outside and near mouth, which is what these look like. Also, just taking pics with my iPhone so probably not the best representation.

I can change the color of my anemones just by changing the color of my lights. Just like some online sellers do...haha

Pink tip rose bubble

In reference to my earlier post... "acid washed" is a name thats been tagged onto normal bubble tips with a few more speckles than others. They vary... anemones are weird but awesome...

I'd consider yours a Rose Bubbletip.

And RBT or RBTA confusingly often means Rose to some people and Rainbow to others. I've just gotten into the habit of sucking it up and actually spelling a few extra letters and wasting a couple seconds of my day doing so.

There's a big\obvious difference between a Rose and a Rainbow. They don't look anything alike.

Don't forget that there are also Sherman BTAs. ;Woot

i think you missed my point, these nems don’t have green in them no matter what lighting they are under. Show a pic of your black widows?

"named" bubbletips in many cases are just fairly typical color morphs combined with specific lighting and photo editing that end up driving the price up because that one may have more speckles than others, or look pinker, or orange'er, etc. Because like in Zoa's... named things are worth at least 4-7 times more than normal things.

However, there are exceptions like Black Widow, Colorado Sunburst, etc, but in most cases you have Rose, Rainbow, and Green.

Good point ! What is appropriate price points for each of those at small medium and large sizes?
