Picked up what I had thought to be a condy nem but i am questioning it a bit. No purple/pink tips and the foot is the same color as the mouth. It's not the red foot transitioning to the milky white color. In my lighting the tentacles have a tinge of mint green but it's not the dominate color at all. The tentacles have what I always thought looked to be a condy. Fed it some mysis and it took everything I could give it (a small cubes worth). Anyone think my initial thought of it being a condy is wrong? Anytime I see a condy pic the foot is always a red (not saying that's correct either, just the observation). If it's not a condy is it a severely bleached LTA?

I should add that while the pics show it a shade of purple it's a dominate white with the mint green here and there at the tips
 
Im leaning toward lta without seeing the foot .
It's not the red foot but similar in color to the rest of it. I got it acclimated and in that rock crevice earlier today. I turned on the whites this time to get a better color representation.

It looks very much to me like a Condy. The foot color is a little strange, but the color and texture of the tentacles look exactly like all Condys I have seen.
 
I wouldn't call myself an expert but I'm gonna vote condy.
 
It's been a long time since I've had a condy in my tank (I used to collect one occasionally in the Keys) but they are protected now. It does have the basic look and texture of a condy. But without any purple color, even at the tips, makes it a tougher call. I couldn't make the call one way or the other. Sorry.
 
Thanks everyone. I am going to see what happens over the next two months. Maybe color will restore and make this a more obvious call.
 
I have a condy and he does not have a red foot. Looks similar to yours I can show ya a pic of him if your interested to compare

I'm convinced on a condy at this point, I always associated the tips with some pinpoint of color but other then that it says condy all day.
