[randomfishdude]

So I was just looking to see if there is a lta showoff/lovers thread and have not found one.
So figured I'd start one.
So let's see some of yalls cool LTAs.

I'm not sure I understand your question. It's a LTA, same as yours. I think the tips of yours will start to turn green over time, like mine, but I doubt yours will get the white center tentacles if that's what you're asking about.

Oh sorry I'm really tired right now.
I meant I saw the main disk part was dark or kinda black. Then instead of fading from green to white it goes from white to green. I figured it was diffrent varient.

Nah, not necessarily. The white is abnormal and fades over time. Here is how mine looked when I first got it:

It decided it wanted to move. Must not have been very happy about the re-addition of a heater. Water went from 74 to 81 over a 2 day period. Sadly it's coming towards the bta and condy.

Also completely unrelated but funny and I didn't know where to post. My new tuxido urchin decided to pick up a pice of filter floss I had on the side of my powerhead. It has been carrying it around the past 2 days.

One you get at the deli counter at the grocery store. It's at least 6 inches deep.

Yeah, that's really bad. I'm sorry.

I hate acropora now. At least the one that did that to it is becoming bleached.

Unfortunately LTAs do not handle any tears to the foot at all. Usually, they quickly become infected and die after damage to the foot. They will soon fowl the water once you see that spaghetti looking (mesenterial filaments) like in those pics.

Here is my purple LTA! Had it about 5 years now.

Brother, you've got to stop posting this animal else I'll come to your house and rob you. She's too perfect.

Hey its just like mine. Just bigger since mine got a haircut a few months ago.

 

[randomfishdude]

So somehow I am no longer the owner of a lta!?!?
My beloved purple one just crapped out and died on me.
All I got is my Cody. I guess it counts.

I'll have to find a new lta.
