bta anemone

Hey everyone I bought a sunburst BTA a couple weeks ago and he was doing good for a week or so then a couple days ago he started moving and then settled under a over hang and he is now opened all the way up and I’m not sure if it is normal or if I should be concerned, if someone could help it...

I've kept BTAs in the past but always started with a large size. I am now wanting to try a higher-end BTA but it's only 1". Have you guys noticed any difference in keeping them alive compared to something 4" when starting out? I have a pair of clownfish (currently hosted by pulsing xenia without...

I rescued a tank this weekend that is 4 years old. The previous owner probably checked out of the hobby a while ago. The tank was full of GHA and he has 3 black widow BTAs. Inside I found one that was attached to the underside of the return nozzle. It was completely flat and blowing around like...

Hi All! Needing a check on if I’m seeing things or not. Three months ago or so I added a purple tang to my tank. The tank has mostly LPS in it and one BTA hosted by a clown. All coral has been fine but roughly around the time I added the PT it seems my BTA has been very distressed and has yet...

I have for sale a Colorado Sunburst anemone for pickup only in the San Francisco Bay Area. Unfortunately I have no experience shipping and am unlikely to do so in the near future. It measures about 4" in the photo below (the container it is in is a 4.5" cube) but opens up closer to 5"-6" when...

Hello I have this BTA for about a month, she is eating raw shrimp or raw fish without any problems, moving a bit from time to time. Color is not going away and I believe is having more color after a month. Today, after moving and having straight view of her mouth, I noticed that her mouth...

Just added some BTA’s and literally 15min later my domino damsel is hosting it??

Can a sebae anemone be housed in a 10 gallon with a BTA?

Hello, I recently went to two of my LFS's and bought 2 cleaner shrimps from one store and 3 starter corals as well as a BTA from the other store. I have placed all of the corals and the shrimps into a 20 gallon QT in an attempt to not introduce ich/velvet into my DT. I was wondering how long I...

Hi there! So I'm cycling this new fish tank, which is a BOYU EA100, around 50ish gallons, but I have a couple of questions in regards to what can be kept inside. I originally planned it to be a fish-only tank, but I have this other mixed reef where BTA are kind of taking over; they are all on...

Hi so recently we got an emerald crab that’s a little bit bigger in size… I would say he’s maybe 1” across? Definitely bigger. The BTA I have has been hosting my clown for awhile and suddenly have been noticing that the emerald crab specifically is hanging right by the BTA and almost picking at...

Hello everyone, I’m concerned about my new bubble tip anemone. The first 3 days it moved each day. The last 2 days it’s been in the same spot but it has been closing up completely, then partially opening multiple times throughout the day. Now I’m noticing a stringy-like substance coming off of...

I got my bta a month ago and it was fine the first week but now it looks like the tips of the tentacles are falling off and idk what to do? The tank also came down with brook so the fish are currently out of the tank in a quarantine tank. All the coral in the tank is healthy as well. Do you...

Hi Reefers! I currently have a Rose Bubble Tip Anemone that my 2 clowns are hosting to and I wanted opinions on if I can add another on the same rock? I have seen A LOT of mixed reviews on this. Will the clowns host to both? Will the BTA sting each other? My LFS has a great deal on BTA's right...

Hi, new to salt water tanks and have been trying to get my clownfish to host my new bubble tip anemone for a few weeks now. Today I went down at night and saw him doing this (video attached). But since then, I have not seen her go near the anemone again. Is the clownfish hosting the anemone or...

Hello, I been having my rainbow BTA for quite some times now, since I had it. It has never split, now last night when we turned off our lights it was still intact, but in the morning when I went to go check out the tank and turn on the lights there was two! I always feed them everyday, but...

I have lantern tip BTA's for sale or trade. Most are 8-12" in diameter and natural split. I am located in Northern California and will not ship.

I'm currently setting up my first tank. My parents have a fish tank and I helped maintain it before I moved out, but I am setting up my own tank for the first time. A relative offered me any remaining livestock and equipment from their horribly neglected former reef tank, which had very little...

What kind of lighting do bubble tip anemones need and how many hours of lighting do they need daily?

Almost every morning I need to move a bunch of plugs because ol Marco here just can’t help but go on a new adventure. Flow and lighting hasn’t changed, it just can’t seem to find a happy spot. Here is this morning, looking like a dog trying to drink from a fire hose:

I haven't seen either of them in person, and I was wanting to get the opinion of those who have. Also what is your favorite Bta?

So I thought I had a single aptasia a few weeks ago, earlier tonight I noticed it had moved from its spot a few inches on the rock. Tonight i was basting away some algae on my rocks and I basted it away. Now it has appeared on my glass after lights out. I took this opportunity to suck it out...

Hello! I’ve had a 10 gallon up and running for about 5 months now, with a pair of clowns and a fire shrimp who all seem very happy. I recently added a bubble tip anemone and I’m just wondering if I have my lighting set up properly. The BTA has only been in for a day I’m just trying to get ahead...
