I don't have a pic right now.... But on about 5 tentacles of my BTA have white spots.... No where else... And no signs of anything else? When inflated I can't see em but with lights off and deflated you can see them.
White spots on anemone?

Hard saying... I only see them when tank is dark and anemone is deflated... When I get home later I'll try to look closer.
I've noticed a few lately that have whitish patches, in fact someone just posted here w/ one a couple weeks ago, and I noticed one online yesterday.
I don't know if anyone knows for certain what is the cause, seems like patchy areas of zooxanthellae or something, but what I've seen they seem fine.
Post pics when you can.

walked the sand with the crustaceans
Edit: NM, Not what I was thinking of!

Looks like either bits of adherent detritus, which should resolve eventually, or maybe mild aberrations in the anemone's structure. I don't think those are parasites, etc. I've seen the same on BTAs before, even more extensively, and the nem never seemed bothered and it just eventually went away.
