In LOVE with these! Gimme.
It's kind of weird. I have to get the camera today. I maybe losing my eye sight. There seems to be 2 tone on the bta. I need to get some clear pictures. I think I know why though. I could be 100% wrong.

It sees the red hue is on the side of the bta with the most light exposure, while the more yellow, orange hue is on the shaded area.

I hope these 2 pictures explain it.

I can see what you're talking about. Love the speckles in the first pic. :D

I am trying to get some nice close ups. I can't do it well with the phone. I hate fighting with the camera. That is work!

There are very bright orange colors forming. Some Redish/magenta which has stayed.

I think it is based on flow. This bta doesn't like high or medium flow. I find it awkward.
I think one of the main reasons why mine is always so extended and has small bubbles, is because of too much flow. I'm letting it move itself around however, just so I don't end up killing it.

Most nems that I see at my LFs are in low flow areas to show off the bubbles

Mine can go wherever he likes. I posted pics of him roaming around his "pebble" Cthulhu wont leave it. So far for 4 months.

When I had my nem before my crash he was stationed for 3 months then he split then the clone died and got sucked up in the power head did a huge water change and the others didn’t make it. Makes me sad he was so nice

I have been reading nems can get damaged on overflow boxes as well, it's scary.

My LFS's nem display tank has so many babies, I see them in the corner overflow. Even with all of those babys, they still charge $80 for one. :( ($200 for an XL RBTA)

Isn't worse than my lfs. Well There is 2. But the closest, that guy has issues.
The one farther away will make a deal with you and doesn't try to rob you. He can get in nice colonies for really decent prices. I still didn't buy the elegance because, it may have ecs. I can't tell . The tentacles has shrunken :(
it is an indo elegance as well.

The nems are super nice, don't get me wrong. But I found another reefer local, that was selling these insanely pretty RBTA's with speckled mouth/tentacle base for only $50. (Med sized nem)

The nems are just chilling in their display tank. Why not reduce the price and make some money??

They are very nice pictures .
Sadly , we can never capture nature’s true beauty as we see it through our eyes .
