BTA question.

[iCon]

What is that?

The BTA itself seems extremely healthy, very sticky and inflated. The nem just walked 2 feet across my tank and perched itself on the glass. I have some reason to think it has to deal with splitting but I have nothing conclusive to back that up with. It almost looks like its GI tract/funky inner parts or something.

A more accurate depiction of what that is and why it's out there would be much appreciated

Is it coming from the mouth of the anemone? The first thing that comes to mind may be the GVC, or mesenteries.

 

[iCon]

Yes, mouth. I prodded it a little bit and it basically encapsulated whatever was hanging out and brought them back inside its mouth. Weird.

Awesome picture BTW.

Old thread; but I was reading this and saw that it does in fact look like the mesenteries:

WOW that picture of the anemone at September 28th is crazy lol. Looks like what Roberto's nem went through (the healing part not the twisting part).
