Did I not buy a bta?

[exosket]

Bought this nem today which I thought was a bta. The more I look at it, the more I think it’s not. What do you think? Def don’t want to add it to my bta garden if it’s not.

Not an expert, but have never seen a BTA with an oral disc that color

Shit.

Shit.

Like I said though, definitely not experience with BTA's...so take it with a grain of salt.

What color is the base?

Not a bta. You have a condylatic anemone there.

Hmm pink tinted BTA’s are more rare—hard to say, as i havent kept them in years. I do know that not all BTA’s display bubble tips at times, they can be uniform.

It's pretty, will you be able to keep it if it's not a BTA?

+1 sancho definitely a Condy

If it is a confirmed condy I’d be at the LFS’s door before they walk in 😳

Thanks everyone for your input! I put it in my frag tank (aka ‘the dump’) on the bottom in the sand for now. If it is a condy then that sucks. He wouldn’t host a clownfish then right? I’m not in a rush to bring him back to the store since I have the room for it right now. I guess I’ll just see what happens?

How much was it? You can get a Condy for $5

Looks like a condy to me, they do host clowns.
