Hey I just wanted to share the color of this RBTA.. It has a green base also.
I have only see this color once before on a friends RBTA and wanted to know if its a rare color.

It was to hard to get a picture of the green base. The foot is brown but around the base of the tenticals and the mouth it is a very brilliant green.

Very nice Rob.. The ones I have seen latley in the LFS have all had faded color and the mouth is brown. I have never seen one so bright and with a green mouth.

With a RBTA about that size (2-3 inches) how big of a piece of table shrimp should you feed it? I tryed something about the size of a dime and it took it in and spit it out. I think it still got a small piece of it that broke off but most of it got spit out.

Just an update, I did get it to eat today. I think I was feeding it to large a piece of shrimp before and it would just spit it out. Today I tryed about half the size of before and it ate it and never spit it out. It may also be that it is just not as stressed after the move.

That is good news. I always feel better when everyone is eating!
