    I posted this pic a few days ago asking what kind of anemone it was, cause the guy said it was a BTA but it looked too different (and yes I know that a BTA doesn't have to have bubbled tips)... some peoples thought it was a Sebae, others thought it was a Cony, and I was pretty sure it was a Rifferi... here's the first pic posted. This is the pic that the previous owner sent me of it in his tank under 2 PC lights and never being fed ever!

    And here is a pic of it today! After being fed twice since I've had it and being under 4 ATI T5HO bulbs and 18 LEDs. It's been 4 days now and it has not moved from this spot. I guess it likes it there! I couldn't believe how much it has changed in 4 days! It actually is a bubble tip! really pretty! What would this coloration be called? How much would this guy normally go for? I got it in a straight trade which is why I ask, just curious. It's a good 3 1/2" across!

    Thanks. yea, 50-60 was what i was guessing too. Would this just be considered a normal green BTA? Or something else?
