what kind of anenome you have?
 
I am wondering what kinna anenome is suitable for a 90 gal display, I made a mistake of buying a rose anenome a year ago, when I bought it, it was 5 inches big, right now its almost 18'' big, too big for my tank, I have to move my coral away from him, so I have decided to take him out and replace it with a different kind, maybe carpet? i dont know. what do you guys think?

ps. how come my rose anenome isnt bubble tip anymore? I have it under 2 400watt MH(hes on the botton of my tank), it should be more than enough light for him isnt? no direct flow towards him either, what could it be?

I heard they can have long tips if not fed enough or a lighting issue which doesn't seem to be your case.

jl has some small rbta you could always sell it and buy a small one although $120 is steep!

Some carpets get over 3 feet wide, if size is an issue I'd look at something else ;) I have two BTA's that aren't huge yet but I'd imagine they will grow. Are you looking for something to host your clowns?

BTA = Bubble Tip Anemone.

I have a large one in my 90, bought him small maybe 2" across, but he now expands to well over a foot during the day.

is yours still bubble tip?

digital-audiophile 01-07-2009 07:35 PM

It depends, For the most part it does not have bubbles and only retains a few on some of the tips.

Somedays it is full of bubble tips but that is usually after a good feeding or a large water change.

I found when it was much smaller it had bubbles all the time but as it grew it is hard to keep them.

OMG!!! I ripped him off!!! I was trying to take him out of the spot where he usually is, but I ripped him off into 2 pieces, I can see all his organ and the shrimp that I fed him an hour ago :lol:, what should I do? should I take him/them out of my tank? @#$@ 120$ down the drain.

QT that thing. They can repair themselves, but only under ideal conditions. My sebae did that once with a powerhead, but fixed himself up in QT.. took about two weeks and I put him back in the DT after about 2 months. GL, sounds like a goner though.

reefy 01-09-2009 04:48 AM

tanks dude, that help me alot!!

tang daddy 01-09-2009 06:48 AM

leave it in a tank with lo flow or just water passing slowly they basically rip themselves into 2 to split except you just did yours a favor.
