Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	I noticed this MTS in one of my tanks today...it was hard to get good picture but it has the most beautiful colors: green, pink, purple. Is this caused by what its been eating? Theresa_M attached this image: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I have seen pictures of MTS's in Europe that have blue, green, and purple irredescent pigment in their soft tissue. Like on their foot and face. That was really cool looking. My MTS's are a color variation sold as "mocha and creme" by the breeder. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/SSanchez/IMG_0543.jpg There different from the typical brown ones, evidently.

The tank was set up a few months ago and I just grabbed baby MTS from some of my other tanks for this one. This tank has a lighter natural colored gravel so it shows up nicely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
