ThePremiumAquarium Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I snagged this guy from Travis at Upscales a few days ago and finally got around to taking a picture. Its got the most insane color I have ever seen in a bubble tip. I thought at first that this thing must have been light deprived or somehow staving to death because of its pigmentation, but it eats well and stays out all the time. When I first brougt it home I set it on one of the shelves in the right upper side of my tank. Then it just moved a few inches to a place its base in a crack. It hasn't moved since and is doing great! Anyway, here you go. Pictures really don't to it justice, but they give you a good idea of what I am talking about.

civicsit Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Great color! Hopefully it stays that way and is healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 It is bleached. If it is eating it will recover and be a deep red BTA. When I get a split that goes unnoticed, and hides in the rocks for a week or 2 that is what happens to my roses. It does look very nice, for awhile but they always go back.

ThePremiumAquarium Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Thats really good to know. I hope it does well and starts to gain some color back, though I do love the color it is now. I have seen similar things happen with green bubble tips before, but I haven't seen the color change to this degree in a rose bubble tip.

ThePremiumAquarium Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Alright, here are some updated pictures. Here is a pic about 15 minutes after eating a silverside There are two pink skunk clowns that have decided to host in the anemone. There are 4 in the tank and the other 2 host in the carpet anemone at the bottom of the tank. The anemone has grown quite a bit, but has not changed color. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of months. I feed silversides to both the pink bubble tip and the green carpet 1-2 times a week. They eat quickly and are always out and fully extended. I also have a green bubble tip that I don't usually feed, and it too is doing great(actually has split twice since I got it a couple months back). Thanks for checking it out, Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyles Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I would guess a split would run $150 if it holds color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronjunior Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Joel had a small one with a very similar color at Waves a few weeks ago. It was about the size of a silver dollar, not sure if he still has it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
