Has anyone ever seen a bta like this before? Its my first time to find a color morph like this and was wondering if anyone else has seen them like this. That's the natural color and its not bleached. I have more than one and the others look the same.

I haven't been bombarded yet and I said it was a sneak peek. ;p Don't worry, I'll see about giving you first dibs.

I can't say I've ever seen quite that color in a BTA before. Looks like a paler version of the rose BTA, except this one is more of a pink lemonade BTA.

I've seen a couple examples of one like that and it has been called a "Flame BTA", but not officially. The key to this variant is making sure it maintains the bubble tip, which keeps the yellow more pronounced.
A few examples of it here:

One of my favorite varieties was pictured by Phender on RC and he called it the "Christmas BTA". If anybody can score one of these let me know :D (off topic, sorry).

Yeah, Zoanuts had one for sale and a local store has had them recently (the flame tip).

It is quite nice looking. I would get it except my existing RBTA has a run in with the PH and lost most of his tentacles...so I'm nursing him back to health before I get another.

Ficklefins thats a good link and lovely shot of a frosted rose bta. I get them sometimes, I'll let you know if I find one in the future. Here's some updated shots of my Pink Lemonades and my other btas for comparision.

I don't know why I can't put the images in, so here are the links.

They came from Indonesia from one of my local suppliers. Wish I could be more specific than that, but they couldn't give me area of Indo, etc. I was lucky to get first pick because the others they had weren't as colorful.

Thanks! I'm sure if you lived over the border we could find a lot to trade between each other. I keep telling you to find a friend close by. lol
