BTA Nem transformation.

reef1980 · Jul 29, 2013

Some pictures of a nem I picked up about a month and a half ago. It's gone through quite the transformation in color. I'm guessing it wasn't so happy when I first picked it up. Either that or something in my tank has caused it to change colors.

Day One

On the Bottom

This is a picture of it after it split. It's the top and bottom nem.

Another split picture.

My newest addition in the middle. Pretty cool coloring in him. I hope he doesn't change much.

One of my Maxi's. If it even is a maxi.

Be careful with them touching each other!! Beautiful nems!

Great job providing a healthy environment for that nem.

Wow, pretty awesome. I've never seen a greenish one like that. Are those common?

Great job! Also it's ok for BTA anemones to touch one another.

Just because they can doesn't mean that they should. Hands to yourself nemones!!!

Well in the first pic it was bleached and now looks really healthy... Two thumbs up..
Also nice red mini carpet anemone... Second one I saw here in two days, must becoming more common, they were really rare.. Where did you get it?
Yours looks a little bigger, how big is it, I have never seen them bigger than a quarter.

I have had that Mini Nem for about a year now. I'm not sure if they're rare or common now but I haven't seen one since I picked up mine. I got it at an LFS in Cincinnati. It's much larger than a quarter, I'd estimate it to be a bit larger than a half dollar.

I should explain that these pictures are out of my tank and that the poster is my brother. I decided to make an account instead of just being a reader.

Well here you go this is the second one you have seen then: :bigsmile:
This is a pic from the person I got it from: I have not taken a pic of it yet.
They are my favorite anemone right now, they are like mini Haddonis
