    Just got this guy in from happycoral.com! I've been waiting awhile for them to update their stocking so I could get one. If you guys haven't checked them out, they have some amazing looking nems at a great price. Anyway, I had two tomato clowns in the tank already and wanted to get them a home so I emailed Christian over at Happy Coral and once he got some in stock, he sent me an email with photos of all the ones they had, even some they didn't put up on the site right away. So I chose the one I liked and they held it in stock for me awhile so it could calm down from its initial shipping. Well it arrived today and as soon as it went into the trank, fights were breaking out as to who was going to live in it. It started with the sexy shrimp who were the first to lay claim. But then big bad mama clown stepped in and kicked them out, now it's her home. Here are some pics:

    They had it labeled as a quadracolor bubble tip. It has red tentacles with a green disc around the mouth.

    I believe the common term is rainbow RBTA, they tend to be decently pricey. E. Quadricolor (Entacmaea quadricolor) is the scientific name for the BTA, so them saying it's a Quadricolor mentions that it's a BTA, not necessarily the color morph. In any occasion, it's a very attractive BTA.
