[THE REEF WHISPER]

Need help ID this NEM

Got a few insane BTAs and trying to lock down the exact morph names. All aquacultured, fat & happy, splitting like crazy.

Used a coral lens

What I’m seeing:

orange tentacles

Pink → purple tips

Teal / blue / green oral disc with obvious white
webbing & marbling

White speckling over the column and tentacles

Some have solid neon mouths, others have heavy white-webbed centers

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Rainbow bta

 

[THE REEF WHISPER]

I don't think so

Yeah I’d say a rainbow bubble tip anemone as well. Those are very nice tho so congrats on it splitting for you man

 

[BriansBrain]

All characters of a classic rainbow bta

 

[THE REEF WHISPER]

Not like a sunburst or a Ulta rainbow

Big coral stores do that to market something common into something hot and raise the price 200%. Super ultra premium inferno rainbow bta sounds better. I probably sound like a hater, and I apologize, but that’s getting old in this hobby.

Of course there are unique lineaged bta like Colorados, Chicago’s, black widows, nexus etc but a rainbow is a rainbow as a Colorado is a Colorado

I feel you 100 % — the“ultra-premium-inferno-grail” marketing on regular rainbows is out of control and the prices are wild.

That said, the handful of real lineage clones (CSB, Chicago, Black Widow, Nexus, true Inferno, etc.) actually do look different and have been line-bred forever, so the crazy money kinda tracks (even if it hurts .

Just trying to figure out if mine are legit ones or just nicely-marketed rainbows. Appreciate the reality check either way

If tips are pinkish rose then they are rainbows. If they are a darker purple, then it could be some kind of sunburst.

 

[THE REEF WHISPER]

It has white sparkle dots and a very white and teal oral disc

 

[Greyhound]

Mine look very similar, tentacles not as long. Aqua/green center and orange tentacles. Guy i bought from called them "ultra rainbow". Mine also split/grow like crazy.

 

[THE REEF WHISPER]

Same my going crazy

 

[THE REEF WHISPER]

I think its a ultra rainbow or some kind of sunburst
