GBTA turns into RBTA

[pclown]

I have question about a GBTA. I had a nice dark GBTA and we put it into another tank in with a RBTA. The two came into contact with each other and stayed that way for about a day. And now the GBTA is as Red as RBTA. This was almost 2 1/2 weeks ago and they are both looking good but how did this happen?
Has anyone ever heard of this or has seen it?
Thanks

I have no idea how that could happen unless the RBTA ate the GBTA and then split.

No way, the GBTA was bigger than the RBTA and it is still bigger. They are still the same size and it took about 3 to 5 days for it to completely change colors.
Any ideas

Maybe its blushing from love at first touch!

My guess would be that the "GBTA" was actually an RBTA from China. Those have a green undercoat with the rosey pigments on top. Then when you moved the anemone it changed colors according to the different lighting. Somewhat like getting a tan.

It did go from MH's to PC's so maybe your right. I hope that we had a special RBTA in the tank and I was going to buy alot GBTA's and put them there so they could turn into a RBTA and then I sell them as RBTA's. LOL
