Rbta help

[Evanski9]

I have had bad luck with these things! First one lasted a month and went powerhead blending


Just bought a new one from Jesse. Put it in last night. Acclimited it and put him in a rock and let him be for the night. Came home and he is in the same spot all deflated.


Kinda pissed is it not meant to be. Idk man. A brown paly is next to it? Could it be stinging it?


What do I do. I hope it doesn't die.


Well let's see. Hope he moves if he doesnt like his spot

Might be an issue with water, lighting, or flow. Did u acclimate the nem? Minimum 30-60min drip acclimation is best for invert. RBTA isn't that hard to keep, might be doing something wrong.

150w MH water is perfect. Salinity is perfect. I have two k1's and the return is a rio6hf

Mind this is all in a 24 nano cube. He is in med light and med flow. He had a 20 min drip as I had to go to dinner

If you just put it in lastnight then its probably just settling in. My RBTA was deflated for like 5 days when I first got it. Then around the 6th day it was fully inflated and beautiful. Patience young padawan...

I have a wild NEm under a freaking rock almost 3 weeks now. I fed him then it went hiding. I have a tank raised clone and its hanging out on the highest rock in the tank. I am with you on the concern level. I just dont want to wake up to nuclear winter because of a 35$ nem. Never again will I buy a wild nem!

I never aclimate.. grab the coral, dump the coral in the tank..

Done.

None of my things have died because of shock.or w.e.

 

[Evanski9]

Exactly I dodged a bullet once. I don't want to kill huge amount of corals. I hope it would move if it was not happy. Unless its a little retarted

 

[Evanski9]

I never acclimate corals either. Fish yes and invert snails yes. I wanted to be on safe side

Looks a little better today when the lights came on. I'm going to offer him some raw shrimp today. We will see if it takes it
