This is an unusual story..
i was at a LFS and they got their weekly shipment in and was putting them in the tanks..a bag was set aside and I asked about it, and was told it was dead, they were going to throw it away..I said..I'll take it thank you. I believe it is very much alive!
Anyway, it looked to be a BTA, i do not have any experience with them, I do have another purple LTA in the tank, which never looked like this one.
I do not have a pic of when I first got it several hours ago, but it was very difficult to tell which end was which, it looked like a fleshy doughnut, with very few tentacles, now it looks like below..
My questions are...
Is it a BTA?
Is it common for the base to be so much larger than the top? or is it just this way because it is night time?
The tentacles are very short, but he has inflated all of them and reacts well to light..openning up and inflating..does it look healthy to you?
Thank you, I will post pics tomorrow after it has had some light for a bit..hopefully it wil stay in view!! My LTA stayed where I put it and set its foot immediately, this one stuck to my hand with some serious stickyness, I just placed him on the rock and away he went!!
