Gbta

[Snappy]

I am sure your top-of-the-line water quality has something to do with it.

More likely the shock of being dosed with run off from our leaking dishwasher located directly above the tank.
Or maybe it's from the clownfish feeding it the odd piece of coral it steals or the fact that when a fish dies and I find it, it gets fed to the anenome.

This GBTA has been very bubbley from day one and never elongated, at least not yet(touch wood). I believe I got it in Mar 06 and it has always had good colour but lately it went like it shows in the picture.

Tony,
I don't have any actinics and the 2x 20k 150w bulbs are dwarfed by the 3x 250 10k's so I don't think the bluer lighting is making it doing it. Also notice that it flouresses from the tenticle's base, so if it was a kelvin issue I would think that would show more on the tips. Who knows?

Anyway some things just tend to morph out in bizzare ways in my system and I thought this particular scenario was kind of cool so I decided to share. I also hoped for some theories on the cause as I havn'e ever seen that before. Thanks Tony I do appreciate your theory and since you have way more knowledge about anemones than I do, who knows, you might be on to something.

Won't 20k's, at least good 20k's will produce the same effect as actinic? (Maybe not to the same degree, but still, some effect?) But, OTOH maybe it's just an electric green. Curious, what happens when you turn the 20k's off? Looks the same?

Although I guess it's maybe not the explanation *here* I do still stand by my claim that most anemones look pretty cool under actinics.

Yes it looks pretty much the same with the 20k's off. And yes you're right, a lot of things look cool under actinic lighting.
