AHH RBTA Losing Tentacles
My RBTA is losing some of it's tentacles... they are laying on the ground beside it? I have a little tomato clown hosting it but he's been really gentle to it.
Cause for panic??

Thanks Dwight. Lately I feel like I've been getting POWNED. Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction. I'm thinking it may need more nutrition or perhaps more light... It's in a 40 br with a 400 wt mh on it. The bulb might be getting old.

I have my green guy in the 40 with a super crappy skimmer, and just vho so I do not think it is the light, have you checked your levels? Are you sure that your clown is not picking on it?

That being said if you want to borrow an old bulb to see if that is the problem, I have several laying here that have a little bit of life left in them

Yeah I have mine under VHO's in my 90 and is doing well (at least I think it is).
Well hopefully you can narrow down the culprit soon..

I would definately be alarmed, how is the rest of the anemone looking, plump, deflated? If the rest of the anemone is looking healthy but their are some tentacles on the sandbed I would be leaning toward the clown picking on it.
