I picked up this pair for a ridiculous price yesterday(more of a rescue than anything else). They were sold to me as Rose BTA's but after getting them in the tank I am not so sure. They are obviously miserable and I will need to wait till they perk up a bit but if they are what I think they are I dont have the tank size or lighting they are going to need. They went into a 50 breeder that already has two large Purple BTA's and a tiny Rainbow BTA. The base makes me think Heteractis but they were attached to rocks when I got them and they didnt want to venture onto the sand last night when they were wandering. They also dont seem to want to hide their foot in rock cracks either. This morning both are centered on the rocks they were on with foot firmly attached and spread quite a bit.
