My LFS has a really nice GBTA and A RBTA. I have always wanted a nem and I checked and they are both eating and the Green one is hosting a clown. I have a 75g reef tank, but I am worried because my nitrates range between 20-25ppm. I know some people have run successful reef tanks with levels...

Hello All, I previously posted about some trouble I was having with a RBTA. I was since able to take the unhealthy specimen a trade for a very healthy specimen that's doing very well. The RBTA has placed itself in the very middle of tank about 18" below an XR15 Pro at 70% intensity. It's doing...

I got a Rose Bubble Tip Anenome Sunday night, acclimated it and then put in a spot I thought it liked. Ever since it was put in the bag at the fish store it was all the way in to a flat disk and hasn't come out of that shape since then. After 24 hours of it being mad and showing zero signs of...

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...

So after having my 30g up and running and everything going well with some corals I decided to try BTA again. I got a RBTA from my local LFS on 3/19/16, drip acclimated him and everything was fine. That was a Saturday. By Sunday one of my marroon clowns were hosting. The RBTA found a good home...

I just wanted to show a picture of my happy anemone. The thing is massive and finally in the middle of my tank looking out. Makes me happy. I think I take a picture of it everyday. Some days it is even bigger than this. Just wanted to share one of my new loves, LOL.

Help! I just fed my RBTA that I've had in my tank for 5 months, and the baster sucked in one of its tentacles and pulled it off! Now the mouth is all poked out. Will it kill the anemone? Or will it grow a new one??

So I got this guy 2 days ago. He looked good and healthy. Drip acclimated him for an hour and put him in the tank on the piece of rock he was attached too. He detached right away and strolled back and forth and settled about 5 inches from where I original had him. He looked really good the...

Hey everyone, so about 20 minutes ago I used aiptasia x on 2 large aiptasia. The unfortunate thing about this was that my RBTA was attached to the rock the aiptasia was on. I waited as long as I possibly could before using the aiptasia x, but the anemones were just getting too big. In the...

Does anyone have any RBTA's for sale or wanting to get rid of?

Hi guys, and welcome to my thread on my method of introducing a clown fish to an anemone. I'm making this thread because I haven't seen a good way to get an anemone to host clown fish that is both safe and effective. The most popular method that I have read about involves putting the anemone and...

Anyone on here from these 2 areas, I might be interested in selling some of my RBTA, but I won't ship, you also must be experienced and with the proper environment and equipment. They are grade A quality nems. I'm torn by selling some but they take up half my 125. Also xenias. I am in the middle...

okay, so i was doing some research and i'm very much confused. Feeding: people have been saying that RBTA don't need to be fed because they rely on the lights and that's their food source. While others say they feed their nems 1x a week or once every other day. ( i know that that is due to...

hello i just got 2 snowflake clowns about 3 days ago. I am new to this hobby so please excuse any dumb questions! anyways i put them in my tank with my RBTA and they do not seem to be going near it. Does anyone have any tips on getting these guys to host this anemone? I've read online about...

i fed my rbta yesterday and today i also did a water change. my rbta is completely deflated. It almost has a green look to it now. I'm just wondering if its dead or if there is hope. it looks pretty bad. and my shrimp keeps picking at it. please help!!!

i just fragged my rbta yesterday for the first time. the cut went smooth but this morning i could still see the wounds. I am just wondering how long it will take them to completely heal and look normal again? or how will i know if its completely dead.

Hello all, I got a RBTA from PETCO about a month ago, along with the attached piece of rock which it never moved from since I placed it in my tank in moderate flow, about 15" directly beneath the LEDs. During the day, it keeps its foot deep in a cave in the rock and either keeps its tentacles...

During my last club meeting I won a rbta. In the bag he looked small so I took it. I got home stuck him in my tank and he was pretty large a minimum of 6 inches probably more like 8 inches across when fully inflated. I'm hoping for my clowns to host it. So I decided to split the nem into 2. I...

Hello all! I have had my RBTA for 5 days now. So far it has been great: he found a home on my rock & has had his foot anchored there since day 1. During the day (actinic & daylight cycle) the anemone looks beautiful; he has bubbles on his tips, has inflated tentacles, & is a deep beautiful...

I guess my RBTA, please confirm so I can remove from my tank :( The RBTA was facing away from me so couldn't see its mouth, when I came home and waited for a bit then move the tank to see the status of the mouth...and the rest...is history i guesss...
