Default BTA's

Haven't seen many BTA's pictured lately so I thought I'd throw some up.

To be honest I'm not sure how many I have at the moment. At least two, but the tentacles make one large matte of anemone it's nearly impossible to tell where one ends and the next begins.

Incidentally, notice the bubble tips forming. It's been some 2-3 years since they did that. In that timeframe I had them under Iwasaki lighting. Before that, they almost always had spherical tentacles. And now that I've switched back to 10000K I see some small sphericals forming particularly on the one on the left.

Having said that, my rose BTA had spherical tentacles for maybe 4 months, then switched to non-bubble. And after the switch back to 10000K that one has not shown any inclination to bubble.

So it must have something to do with the population of zooxanthellae in addition to the variable of lighting (and flow, and feeding patterns, and who knows what else in the myriad of variables in the age-old question of "why do BTA's lose their bubbles"). Anyhow I thought it was an interesting observation worth sharing.

cheers

Can anyone besides me view them? They show up fine for me but I'm told they show up as red X's for some.

I use Firefox as my browser. I have no idea why the .jpg's would work in Firefox and not IE.

If anyone knows what I've done wrong ... please enlighten me so I can fix it.

Thanks (and sorry).

Bummer ... so much for showing off some pictures.

Yeah OK I see it now too, they won't load up in IE. They do for me if I load the link itself but not when imbedded into the thread.

I'll look into it (I'll accept hints from anyone who knows what the problem is).

In the meantime, you owe it to youself to stop using IE and upgrade to a real browser.
