    Just wondering....I can't find any sites that tell me anything, but I heard they're really cool and sometimes split, so.... :p

    a bta is a bubble tip anemone, usually easier to take care of and the tinicales are bubble shaped at the ends, most of the time, most people want the rose bta, usually expensive ;)

    Welcome to 3reef!

    Anenomes in general are for exprienced reef keepers. Bubble or Bulb Tipped Anenomes are one of the more hearty ornamental anenomes, but do require good animal husbandry practices.

    Tell us about the tank you want it for.. size, lighting, filtration, how long you've had it, etc..

    Here's a pic of a nice bta from got-chow.com:
