Crazy bta

Reef Goddess · Mar 24, 2008

Has anyone ever seen a bta like this before? Its my first time to find a color morph like this and was wondering if anyone else has seen them like this. That's the natural color and its not bleached. I have more than one and the others look the same.

you are a sneaky one you are, still need a price though!
you should be set up with everything before you post these as you know youre gunna be bombarded with questions on how much!

I haven't been bombarded yet and I said it was a sneak peek. ;p Don't worry, I'll see about giving you first dibs.

I can't say I've ever seen quite that color in a BTA before. Looks like a paler version of the rose BTA, except this one is more of a pink lemonade BTA.

I've seen a couple examples of one like that and it has been called a "Flame BTA", but not officially. The key to this variant is making sure it maintains the bubble tip, which keeps the yellow more pronounced.
A few examples of it here:

One of my favorite varieties was pictured by Phender on RC and he called it the "Christmas BTA". If anybody can score one of these let me know

(off topic, sorry).

Yeah, Zoanuts had one for sale and a local store has had them recently (the flame tip).

It is quite nice looking. I would get it except my existing RBTA has a run in with the PH and lost most of his tentacles...so I'm nursing him back to health before I get another.

Ficklefins thats a good link and lovely shot of a frosted rose bta. I get them sometimes, I'll let you know if I find one in the future. Here's some updated shots of my Pink Lemonades and my other btas for comparision.

I don't know why I can't put the images in, so here are the links.

They came from Indonesia from one of my local suppliers. Wish I could be more specific than that, but they couldn't give me area of Indo, etc. I was lucky to get first pick because the others they had weren't as colorful.

I gotta hand it to ya Reef Goddess .. you sure do have an excellent taste for colors ... :evil4: !!

Wished you were in Buffalo, N.Y. really ...

Good Stuffs as Always.
