Is it normal that my anenome has freckles? I bought off another canreef fellow. Didn't notice until it opened up.

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

Thanks guys. Is there an different name for the ones that has freckles or they are just called "RBTA"?

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)

Here's a pic of mine for comparison. It's about 3-4". I feed it mysis as wel every few days. Seems to grow a lot fast n more bubbly when I feed
Some ppl in the states call it paintsplash rbta
