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??

Does the anemone itself look good to you? (like it used to) If so, then I'd say it's just the colouration of your anemone and your lighting. Sounds harmless. Could be new tentacles.. not exactly sure how they grow new ones though ahah!

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.

Well it looks like everything is going to be ok!

My tank just underwent some major renovations. My two little damsels, who were in there to cycle the tank, have now made their way back to the fishstore. Both of them were just way too aggressive and were stressing my new clownfish out. When I came back from the fishstore, both my clowns looked completely relaxed and my anenome is looking better than I've seen it. I had to take out all of my LR to get those fast little buggers. I have a completely new aquascape and everything is looking extremely happy so far
I never imagined salt water fishkeeping would be so enjoyable. Compared to a freshwater fishtank, it seems like absolutely everything has a personality. It really is quite amazing! This website has been an incredible advantage because of the very friendly and knowledgable people who frequent it Thanks so much to everyone so far (so far because you know you'll be seeing my name on these message boards a whole heck of alot more times, probably even today! haha).

I took your advice as well Beverly and I've moved my anenome to a much more indirect water flow vantage point. She seems to be doing very well!

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
