Are bubble-tips suppose to look like this?

[hammcd]

I have a new gbta which seems amazingly healthy, ive seen pictures where they actually have what look like "bubble" tips...does it mean anything if they look like my picture...like not enough light, etc? or is that ok?
thanks

Your anemone seems to look fine. Some BTA's show the bubble tip, some do not. In time yours may show the bubble tips, and then revert to looking like this again. Nice specimen you have there.

i figured it was fine..just wondering if he has enough light or not and thats why hes stretched up so high...hes at the very top of the tank but to be fair thats where theres the most space for him..hes under a 150w MH and his top tenticle is 2 inches from the top of the water

so are u saying theres too much flow up there or its ok?

Edit: oh nvm i see what ur saying

If there was too much flow, he would move. I'd say leave it alone. Bubble tips have a habit of shaking things up

The Nem's looking good Craig......Some have bubble tips and some don't. I have nine BTAs spread out among my three reef tanks, and some keep their bubble tips and some don't.

thanks, i think it looks great too...just wanted to make sure he had enough light and such

From what I was told ( by two different sponsors) that the nem will bubble up if it gets just the right amount of flow. Too much flow and it will elongate like that. My old rbta never bubbled up because i had two mp40 facing each other at 30" apart. Now MH new nem bubbled up in my rsm for the few weeks I had it. Then it elongated itself after I added two mp10 of the tank. Neither of my nems moved in either tank. They just don't bubble anymore.

Just as others have said, the nem looks like it is in good shape... the ones that I have almost never "bubble" and they have been doing good for 2 years!

this one was semi bubbled when i got it and i got it from acro so im pretty sure its a gbta...and at night it gets bubbly lol when the lights go out...i was just concerned it wasnt getting enough light and thats why it was stretched out but it seems pretty common..i do have medium to high flow throughout the tank so that could be it..i kinda like this look better than the bubled look to be honest though

It is a GBTA..100% no ifs, ands, or buts about it. If Craig doesn't like it he can bring it back and I'll refund his money.

I never had any question that either mine or his is not a gbta ... read the first part of my post and then add the second part you quoted.

hard time believing that is what it is ...meaning the clowns were causing it ...

gesh it seems like everyone lately is taking what i am saying the wrong way ... sorry

Sorry, my bad. I saw Craig's comment that he was "pretty sure it was a GBTA" right after yours.

oh no, i love it and i dont have any doubts its a gbta..i just wanted to make sure it had enough light etc...im very happy with it, acro
