Is it normal that my anenome has freckles? I bought off another canreef fellow. Didn't notice until it opened up.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/22/74cf04eddc2d918452ffaf958b9a2b40.jpg

Freckles/speckles and lines are normal with our local RBTAs

They can bubble or not, and have some super green tints

The 2 pics are of the same critter months apart

I've only seen the ones I pictured, and I've never seen a different name

They are all RBTAs

I like the speckled look, but don't know if it's only a local hybrid or a common thing

Hopefully others will chime in ....

Thanks for the name Jason. He is a size of a loonie at the moment. I feed him 1 mysis per day. I just hope he can stay bubbly for a long time. I heard they tends to lose the bubble tip in captivity(aquarium)
