Also, to the poster above who suggested it was bleached I want to say it's not. At least not anymore. It's now quite green, but my phone camera doesn't capture it. I picked this up in March at a LFS for $5 after explaining to them that it was days from death and no one was going to spend the $29 they were asking. It was completely bleached, no color whatsoever, and very little form, about the size of a nickel. I could tell it was an anemone but wasn't convinced it was a BTA. For the first 2 months it lived under a rock in my tank because it couldn't tolerate any light. During this time I tried to target feed it but it showed no obvious feeding reponse. In the third month it started to green up and slowly crawled out from under the rock. And then it started feeding. Since then, I've been target feeding it nearly every other day a mixture of thawed mysis, thawed brine, oyster feast and coral frenzy. It grew to be about 6 times its original size and now split 4 ways. |

Beautiful.
Our BTA went in the tank, crawled around some then settled into a deep cave and slowly died. Hooray. |
