I did forget a photo. One that is under full spectrum. Lesson learned. Turn off all water flow. There is some motion blur.

So, I dug up pictures from october 6th and the 13th.

I didn't realize so much has changed. Not just the bta moving.

100% blue, 20% white

Last photo taken under 100% on the 13th.

I do not know what colors will stay or go.

And my hellfire torch.

New lights put my bubble tip into hiding. Had to really ramp down the settings. I find this one does enjoy low par. 60-75/ Hopefully I will be able to increase intensity over time and the bta will accept that. He has stuffed himself under the rock, i did not take pictures of when he was shriveled like a prune. Seriously unhappy.

We are currently getting back on track.

I have not updated in some time.

There are green streaks now forming on the bta. I thought maybe I was going blind, here is the original photo and a cropped photo with some circles to show what I am talking about. The green streaks/speckles are all over the place, but here is just an idea.

Edit: sadly I have to resize photos just to post them. The very original is 7 mbs.
 
So, I killed my old phone camera and dearly miss it, I got a thinq g7 thing..
Taken this morning.
After 4 months, last night was the only night the bta did not deflate. Looked like this, this morning. No idea why pics are now blurry. 12.03

compared to
12.01.

So, as the bta is still growing. Very interesting color patterns are taking place on the outer tentacles. Will they eventually look like the rest of the center tentacles, or will it grow that way?
