I've been waiting on one of these for over half a year:). Bill at Midwest Saltwater got this to me today. Horrible pictures, but you should be able to get the idea. When it wonders up to the top side of the rocks, I'll get some better shots. It's on the side of the tank now with a lot of obstacles for a camera...

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see it once it settles in.

It looks kind of like my red and green hybrid, but mine only has green in the base. Is that what it is?
 
what kinda lighting is that under? I just picked up a RBTA from a local store that had it under a 250 radium, it looked like that. Under my t5's though it doesn't look so great...still good...but not great!
 
It's got a lot of orange, some green, some red, and some yellow. Those pics are under 250W DE Phoenix 14K and VHO 03's (muted because it is at the edge of the rockwork and under a frag rack). It's fluffed out considerably since this afternoon, so hopefully, it'll be out in the open tomorrow. I got in trouble for spending so much, but I have never seen on like this anywhere and am not at all disappointed:).

Luciano-I'll let you know when it clones. I used to force GBTA's, so I'll see if that works for this guy. It'll be a while, though, I think.
 
Do you know if he has another? Man I seen these at a swap one year and I would like to get one!
 
I will have some more in the near future. These are all captive raised and take time to produce.
 
Atlantis was asking a pretty Pennie for these a few yrs ago.. I have a few my self and must say the first time i say them i had to have 1!
 
Any up for sale or what?
pm me if you do.
 
Awesome BTA. I love the colors they come in, watermelon, rose, and green are my faves. I kept 3 neon greens about a year ago before I sold them.
 
Gimili-a pest about as bad as Aips. Those little pretties are tulip anemones. I got two from a friend probably 5 years ago, and know of a numnber of peopel who have torn down tanks and started over with new rock (and cut coral off of all rock to avoid reintroduction), just to get rid of them. peppermints will devour them (as they will Aips and majano's), but nudi's don't touch them. To get Pepps to work, I don't feed the tank, which is difficult in a reef with a number of fishes. I have a 75 set up for Pepps to clean my rocks;).

It hasn't moved out into the light yet, but before I pulled it from the bag, I got to see it in full lighting and wow. Seeing it in Bill's tank at the MTRC swap in January had me sold. It looked as good to me yesterday under my lighting as I remember it looking under Bill's. I may move the frag rack and try to dangle my camera around the corner for a good shot...
