Anemone that’s a little lost…?

[Geofrog]

It could be chemical warfare between your GBTA and the Sebae, with the sebae winning. Research done on the rock anemones on the west coast shows that two populations of anemones (same species) use chemical warfare to mark their territory, so that they don't encroach on each other. Could be similar in your situation.

+1 on the chemical warfare. Do you run carbon?

This thread has brought up some interesting stuff, so I’ll keep this going – with a new question! So my wandering anemone split – into two. It’s in a16 gal, so it’s a little small for two of these guys, and I was wondering if I could throw one in my 55 gal- which has 2 X 96 watt pf 50/50 and 2X 96 watt 10Kk – is that enough light for a RBTA?

Thanks again all!

IMO, the PC lighting would suffice for the BTA.
I have mine under 65 W PCs.

Thanks... I just noticed that I wrote something pretty odd:

2 X 96 watt pf 50/50 and 2X 96 watt 10Kk

Neal, you are obviously a gibberish to English translator...!

I meat to say is that I have 2 of these...

I am the White sebae v. GBTA person who is having trouble with the GBTA getting smaller while the sebae gets bigger.

No, we are not running carbon on the saltwater set up. Should we be? We have lots of live rock, a protein skimmer, a pump (not sure what kind) and a UV sterilizer. Would carbon stop the chemical warfare that is going on?
