Did it split after we talked? Did you test alk, Ca, Mg, pH, salinity, etc? Anyway, I didn't think it was so good to have your GBTA split so soon after getting it. I'm not thinking it's so good that mine split so soon, either, though I keep a pretty good (but not perfect!) eye on the chemistry in my reefs. And then to have it look like it's splitting again is really freaky for me ![]() GBTA UPDATE AS OF THIS MORNING: The first clone that had split from the main GBTA has now moved more into the empty area (see videos) that had been between the two GBTAs and is moving its tentacles quite agressively. The part of the main GBTA that appears to be splitting off has shrunken back from the other clone's aggression. Wanted to see if I was imagining the second mouth on the part I think is splitting off, so I fed both the main GBTA and the part that is splitting off a bit of mysis this morning. Both ate separately, so I'm pretty sure the main GBTA is splitting again ![]() The only problem now is that there isn't much room for the new clone to go since the first clone is behaving so aggressively. Oh, the drama!! FURTHER UPDATE: Used my trusty turkey baster to gently blow at the GBTAs to look at their feet. There are now three feet, so I'm confident there are now THREE GBTAs crowded in that relatively small area. Looks like a tank rearrangement will be in the works in the very near future to separate these guys. Dang!!!! Last edited by Beverly; 02-02-2006 at 02:47 PM. |

![]() They can get pretty big.. but that all depends. If you feed it lots, it grows faster (obviously..) If you have it under strong MH lighting, it tends to grow faster. I had one that was about the size of a grapefruit when fully expanded. Had to get rid of that bad boy... they can get fairly large.

![]() Jim,
I am sure if you found yourself a nice smaller sized clone under some PC lighting it would do great. It will grow slower this way (under PC) with once a week feedings. It can be done. I have kept 4-5 BTA's in my 20g at one time before (clones) It can definately be done ! Cheers (Again.. sorry for the hijack Bev)

Right now the rock with the RBTAs is in a pail with heater, very low light and a small powerhead pointed at the water's surface for aeration. Hoping this kind of low level stress will help dislodge them from the rock so I can put them back separately in the tank. Plus, the second clone has not completely detached from the main RBTA and they are still partially joined at the foot. Could only see that once the rock was out of the water and upside down ![]() |
