Hey all! So a couple weeks ago I bought 2 RBTA’s from a local breeder. She was at work so her husband gave me the bag and there was a third BTA that wouldn’t let go of the bottom of the second so he just threw it in there. However looking at how it opened it looks totally different than the other two (more like a black widow but not sure). Anybody have any insight? Or is this just a different color pattern of the same nem?

This is one of the two big ones I got

And here’s the third one that was hanging on.

Under intense blue light and if it is red tendrils-- could be a sherman or a black widow.

I have a Sherman and it doesn’t look quite like that. The tentacle tips are way redder than the roses or the rainbows though. And then it fades to more of a blue than green, plus all of the banding in the outer and inner mouth area. That’s why I was thinking maybe black widow.

Ah, hard to see that in the pic. Likely it is. What I am sure of is if the other anemone moves away, it's definitely a black widow.

lol it actually moved away from them… I have 2 roses, 2 rainbows, a sbb galactic sparkle, and a Sherman that are all clustered together… this last guy is 8” away from all of them
