i emailed the guy i bought it off and he said he wasnt missing any . But its the only place ut could of come from . So what a bargin a 10" mushroom and a bta including postage all for £15.50
 
Those first two pics look a lot like a leather coral. 10" in diameter, you say, wow. Did the seller tell you what kind of mushroom it is? I've never seen one like it.
 
Nice addition with the anemone, it does look like a Rose Bubble Tip to me, I just got one with about the same coloring, except not on another coral :) lol
 
look like a marble green BTA, they have florescent arms when in plenty of light and body is rose coloured. don't be alarmed if the bubble tips change into long slim arms, it just means they are getting lots of light and are happy :)

If you feed it a few mysis shrimp a couple of times a week it will grow quicker too!

For once a nice hitchhicker to have :D i paid £40 for mine !
 
Ok i didnt no if it was an acid rain BTA but any colour would be good . Il keep the pics coming
 
I no and i got the leather and postage for that . Feels like Christmas just cant wait for it to colour up better

yes, you can feed the nem once it's hosting, it may also help to teach the clowns to feed it if they are tank bred, but try to feed clowns away from the nem, then feed the nem so its food isn't taken by hungry clowns :)
 
i'ts colours will improve with feeding, and it will probably move higher in the tank if it can to get better light... make sure your wavemakers have guards on them!

looks like it is starting to show it's green marble colour and rose body more already, and the bubble tips are changing to more long and slender arms.
 
you can't really, just feed the clowns, then fed the nem so the clown see it taking food.... nature and time will do the rest... :)
