You reminded me of my next question. I was just curious what you feed a sebae anenome? I see you are feeding it mysis. How do you feed them?

Joel,

You can feed your anemone a variety of foods (meaty foods) . You can feed him silversides, shrimp, mysis, brine, etc.. (you can catch my drift) What I usually do is:

In a container (that you use for feeding) put some tank water with some food (thawed) in it. Then take a turkey baster and suck the food up, turn off all your pumps (dont forget to turn them back on) And slowly blow the food onto it's tentacles. It will go from there... You don't need to feed it every day also as a note.. maybe once or twice a week should be sufficient.

HTH,

Thanks so much for the video Beverly! That was very helpful. Did your RBTA move around on you when you first placed it in the tank?

Help!

Ok so I haven't been home in a couple days because of work and when I got home just now I noticed that some of the tenticles in my anenome were green. I'm really hoping that this means new tenticles are coming in but I suspect that it is not good news. Can anyone help??

You're welcome, Joel

We started out with a GBTA in our 37g in early November and learned a lot about water movement requirements through much trial and error with the GTBA. So when we got our RBTA for our 67g, we pretty much had the perfect spot picked out for the RBTA. It only moved a few inches to get a bit more water movement.

Overall, I'd say our BTAs both need low, indirect water flow, just enough to very gently move their tentacles.

Hi Beverly,

So what kind of plastic tubing do you use? Looks like freezie tube.

Got the rigid plastic tube at a lfs that specializes in fw fish and fw planted tanks. It comes in 3' lengths. We cut it so there was a shorter piece and a slightly longer piece, and made the cut on an angle to make feeding in awkward places a little easier.

Don't know what a "freezie" tube is, but I don't think that's what we've got
