Stupid RBTA! Share your stories...

[El Dude]

So my RBTA split about 2 weeks ago. The 2 halves healed so I fed them Monday. And they emerged from inside my rockwork yesterday and my stubby clowns were checking them out as if they were gonna bond. I went to check my tank just now and I found the remains of the clone wrapped around the inlet of my Magnum H.O.T. filter. FML...I cleaned out the filter and I'm gonna do a water change...but somamabeech that pisses me off!

So at least I still have one RBTA but losing any livestock is frustrating. Know what I mean?

Does anyone else have this problem with newly fed RBTAs/BTAs moving around a lot after a feeding?


Share your anemone horror stories please...I need to commiserate...

they will move til they find a nice spot. member we were talking about nems moving and why i dont have them anymore?

 

[El Dude]

Yeah I remember. But its weird like they settle for a couple weeks them move. Then settle for a couple weeks then move again. I'm noticing they only move after I feed them...

dont feed it. i never feed my nems but my clowns take food to them before

I kinda am regretting getting them. They wander, they hide, and most importantly my platinum clown avoids it!

If I can get me out we might have a sale thread soon. But they are cool when it's basking in the lights.

yeah but dont want to risk my corals with those things

Mine used to move around in a 24G NanoCube until I moved it (and the rock it sits on) to my new "used" 55G. Since then (a couple of months) it hasn't budged. I could have sworn seeing it consumed a silverside in the NanoCube but now I can't get it to eat the fish, maybe because now it's hosting a maroon clown in the new tank.
