Under the AI they look like true bubble tips. It may be the lighting or it may be the flow. I have a Clam in the 28 gallon so I ramp the light up to 90 % at 7000 k for total of about 10 hours. You can see the difference between the nems in the photos.

Are you thinking that having the lights at 7000k rather than the typical 14-20k is making them bubble up? I have NEVER had a BTA that had bubble tips.
