I swear, once they learned they could live in the nems they changed and became super aggressive lol

I got this BTA about 2 months ago from someone semi-locally, and I think it's a sherman. It's the prettiest BTA I think I've seen in person. The video doesn't do it justice, I don't have much luck getting good color under blueish light with my phone. It's a deep reddish/rust color and the oral disc and the base of the tentacles are almost black, a dark charcoal. I moved all my purple base BTAs to a different tank, because I didn't want to take a chance on allelopathy, if that is a thing between BTAs. The female maroon is about 3.5" for reference. I've been feeding this anemone pretty much every day with small amounts of shrimp, krill, mysis, clam, mussel, etc. and in ~two months it's more than doubled in size. It was worth spending two hours on the freeway, an hour each way, to get it.

Less than a year old and this black widow has grown like a weed, for larger and faster than the RBTA splits that I've had for much longer lol

Here is one of mine spawning last month. Lights ramping down and almost off thus it being somewhat heavy blue and dark. This time only one released that I caught which wasn't that bad and the tank can manage on its own. When two or three spawn at the same time I usually have to do an emergency water change as the water is a thick cloudy white mess and the fish have issues.

Here is my rainbow BTA before it split into 3, and another one after the split

I had a similar one, I miss it so much :( One day I came home and it had shrunk down, and had a hair of slime coming from it's foot area. It was right beside one of my point birdsnests. I have a feeling it had a hole poked in it's foot when it tried to pass by it.

I was able to keep it alive for almost 2 years but it never was large again and I don't think it ever healed. I ended up euthanizing it when I realized it was melting away and posed a risk to my other nems and perhaps coral.

Loved that thing. Real painful loss. Yours is even nicer!

How many anemones do you have in there?

 

[dpfriedman]

I am in the long process of finding a couple of different BTA
and
I need some help figuring out which two / three that I want to put in my tanks.
So, I thought a Eye Candy / Show Off Thread
Was in order.

So, if you would.
