It looks like a sick purple LTA.

I agree with Deb's guess. Purple LTA, but unhappy. If it survives, what size tank is it going in because LTAs get huge. When mine is fully expanded, it can reach 14" across.

lol of course its unhappy, it was in the middle of acclimating during the shot. I doubt any sea animals are happy to be moved from their homes

What type of lighting will you keep it under? I had mine for a year & a half under 96w PC & 2 T5s in a 33g but it is sooooo much happier now under 150w DE MH.

My original LTA in the 110g reef.

White LTA from Sushilicious (aka Xtasia)

I think it had lost its symbiotic algae but it is now eating & slowly recovering quite well

It has been in there since April under PC lighting and is doing fine. It didn't seem to like the brighter MH in my large tank and kept going for a walk to a shadey spot. Since it has been under the pc's it is still bright in colour but hasn't gone walkabout. (yet)

i've got a 250watt mh setup. here's a pic of the old LTA (RIP). I have since put foam over my aquaclear and fluval intakes...

your lta's are pretty nice... Ireally like the purple in this guy. I acclimated him from 8pm - 1130pm, he is in the tank now.. my saddleback has found him
