    So I ordered a GBT a couple of months ago but I think I may have gotten a green long tentacle by mistake. Can anyone confirm this? The first 2 pics are resent but the last pic is when I first got it. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Yup it's a BTA, LTA typically have orange bases. The anemone looks healthy, I had green one that was very similar but it did have bubble tips.

    Cool. Thanks for the replies. I just wasn't sure and knew a the long tentacle may not get along with my clowns. Now if I could just get the clowns to get down there and hang out with it all would be great.

    Try just target feeding the Anemone and not the fish. They may go for it, it will take more than a couple of flybys to for them to get the idea.

    I had 4 rbtas given to to me recently. I gave away 2, kept 1, and traded 1 for credit at the lfs(guy told me to do what ever I wanted with them). The strange thing is that mine and the two I gave my friend are both still bubbled up while the one I traded is all streched out like the one you have.
