BTA Interesting Observations

[Delphinus]

I can't really elaborate or speculate but I'll offer my own observations .. I've had several BTA's over the years, most are one particular strain that I've had for nearly 10 years but I did also have another strain for a few years until the one I kept for myself died. But anyhow. I've had many individuals turn into these grotesque looking things (fat mutant tentacles, LOL, yeah exactly). I don't quite know why they became like that but for the most part once they got into that state, they would stay in that state almost permanently - generally speaking not resetting to "normal" ("normal" in this case being either bulb tentacles or string tentacles) until splitting. And then it would be 50/50 that one would stay knarled-and-knobby or both post-split daughters would return to normal.

Anyhow, there's a lot about them we don't really have a good handle on .. part of the mystique, I guess..

Mine was pretty and bubbly....and then it split and I have two little uglies....but they continue to grow and eat and host and my clowns don't seem to care that they live in the Trailer parks of the 'nem world! They get these grotesque litte tiny squidgy trentacles and fat ones and ones with sprouts on the sides amid a bunch of normal ones.....but considering that when I got it it was tiny and severely bleached I think it's doing ok.

Thanks a bunch for the input. Great to have feedback from experienced members. The 'waste' being expelled thru a hole in a tentacle still has me perplexed.
