    Hi Guys, So recently my tuxedo urchin smashed his way up against my rainbow bubble tip anemone which resulted in many puncture wounds. A few days later the anemone still looked quite rough but I thought this was part of it healing. Its been a little over a week and the anemone keeps getting...

    So I got my RBTA about 2 days ago and it was doing fine for the past 2 days, it only moved an inch since I got it and would stay inflated and what not. However, today after I turned off the lights it started to move again, more than it did when I first got it and it seems as though it's about to...

    I have 25 gallon reef tank with clownfish pair and cleaner shrimp. 2 weeks ago I was gone out of town for 3 days. When I came back, I couldn't find any bta anywhere in my tank. It has been missing for more than 2 weeks. Last week I tried to look underneath all of the rock and change the...

    So this sounds really dumb, but when I was moving my anemone from a container to the tank I dropped it. It wasn't very far, maybe just over a foot off the ground. A white string thing came out of it and now the mouth is gaping a bit... It is still opening up fine and has attached itself to the...

    Hello. My BTA has split, finally. I am glad because it got bigger than I wanted. Now I want to take out one half and get to to LFS. What are your recommendations on how to get it detached from the LR ? Thanks !

    I recently purchased a SMALL Rose BTA from LFS. Acclimated fine and attached to a rock within seconds of laying him down. Tentacles were fully extended and he looked happy. Started moving (very slowly obviously) and was in my tank for about an hour before the lights turned off. At that point...

    Okay, so I have two anemones in my tank right now. I have the proper lighting, a good filter, and a protein skimmer rated 5X my tank. So I have a Green Bubble Tip anemone and a tube anemone. My first question is feeding. The guy I bought them from said to feed them cut up krill or shrimp...

    Hi everyone, I got a Green Bubble Tip Anemone this past weekend. I placed the anemone on a rock at the middle of my tank. However after a couple of minutes the anemone moved to the sand bed of my tank. I am wondering if I should manually move the anemone to a higher part of the tank so it can...

    Hey guys! I adopted a rather sad looking creature into my tank. Foot is attaching strongly. She moved from high light into the shadows. Mouth is not gaping, but she will not hold in to any food. I don't want to keep stressing her out either. Any advice what my steps to recovery should be...

    I picked up a new green bubble tip and for the first few days it hid under a rock but now has found a hole in the rock that it puts itself through during the day. I is very light tan now with little to no green. I feed him every day or so and it eats great. Could it be on the way out? Its...

    Finally got a new bubble tip anenome in my tank and added a Maroon Clown 4 it. LFS suggested the clown for my anenome, and live aquaria too but a friend who worked at one of those aquarium ship sites (saltwaterfish.com) says he won't. Granted it's only been like 5 days and I think the...

    My BTA seems to be unhappy lately, maybe for 3 days. The tentacles look curled and deflated and the mouth is kinda open. I would not say it is gaping, but it is not shut tightly either. I hope you can see that on the pictures. What do you think it means ? Should I worry ? Thanks !
