Mushroom or BTA?

[SauceyReef]

They can release themselves and go where the flow takes them

There’s just a small air pump in this tank so there’s very little flow. Plus it moved from the sandbed up in the rockwork which just seems odd.

They can walk

Thanks.

Yes i was aware of that. I just didn’t know they could move as fast as anemones.

The oral disk does not look like a bubble tip. There are no white saturations
I’ve had an experience like that. Bought a jawbreaker moved across the tank and then moved again, never found it after the third move

Here’s one of mine close up

I see what you mean about those white lines near the mouth now! Do all BTAs have those?

Yes.

 

[SauceyReef]

Yes.

Than looks like you are correct and it is definitely a mushroom.

I got sold this as a St. Thomas Bubble. I know mushrooms can move similar to anemones, but this little guy moved across the tank in a day or two and parked itself next to a maxi mini. Seems a bit more like BTA personality to me. What do you think? I don’t think I cant get a better photo it’s in a tough spot.

Sure does look like a St. Thomas. Reminds me of one I had in the past. While moving around the tank, it may leave parts of its foot behind and make little baby shrooms. Hopefully it decides to move away from that mini-maxi!

Thank you - I hope so! If it moved there it cant be to dangerous to it. My yumas and riccs in my other tanks dont seem to mind the maxi minis.
