Odd coloring to it, I wonder why its.....speckled so to speak.

 

[crox]

What do you mean, Thomas?

 

[clown123]

thats what im wondering to thomas i saw that weird coloring.

 

[crox]

Is he ok? I got it from SWF.com. He always looked like that. :thinking:

 

[thomas712]

Looks ok body wise, but it just has that wierd white streaking to it that I've seen in other types of anemones but not a BTA. Have you been feeding it yet?
