ID in Bubbletip

Dillon Deville · Aug 11, 2019

What's up everyone? Friend of mine gave me a dime sized bubbletip and I'd like to know the trade name for it. Like whether it's just a rbta or something fancy. I believe he called it a sunburst something or other, but we both aren't sure. I am aware that it is ever so slightly bleached.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm pretty obsessed with it at the moment. Some great color on this little guy.

@Katrina71 @NY_Caveman any idea on morph of this little guy.

Googling around and it may be a speckled sunburst bubble tip from the looks of it... But this is my first bta so I can't be sure.

Oh thank you! Yeah it's gorgeous already, can't wait to see when it's healthy.

I also have a general question if anyone would be kind enough to answer. This anemone walks alot, so I put it in a small open tupperware with rubble and 1 rock. It still continues to walk and just hang around inside the container. Is this somewhat normal behavior? Like will it eventually attach to the rock I have available? I don't want it dissapearing behinds rocks or anything.

Yeah, I figured as such. I'm just worried because it's so small and slightly bleached. Trying to minimize stress and such. It's on the sand bed so it's not getting the brightest light but it is out in the open, not much shaded areas.
