bta

I have a bonded pair of snowflake clowns that are hosting the empty bottom corner of my tank, when I have a fat, fluffy BTA for them to enjoy. I have tried catching the fish and putting them directly onto the nem as well as herding them toward it, but they swim away without a moment's...

Hi Everyone, First time poster, however I've been using the advise and expertise of R2R members for about a year now. I got a BTA for our Nano tank about a 3 months ago and it did great for the first 2 months, but I had some lighting and water chemistry issues about a month ago and that's when...

So I have two Black Ice Snowflake Clowns. And a Rose Bubbletip Anenome that they haven’t found yet.. but they’ve been staying near my magfloat most of the time.. so I took it out and now they try and bite me when I put my hands in the tank… ‍♀️ Why are they trying to bite me all of a sudden...

I thought it was interesting to see after putting some btas in my tank that my tomato clownfish is being hosted not only by the condy it’s seemingly forced into the arrangement but also the bta that’s near by as well, does anyone else’s clownfish go to multiple anemone? My other two cinnamon...

In the past 4 weeks I have lost 3 fish, all of them between 2-10 days new to the tank. The first was a nervous dispar anthia, the second a gorgeous 1.5 inch coral beauty and 3rd was a 2.5 inch diamond sandsifting goby. The first possibly hid and starved to death. But the others were eating well...

I've had a watermelon BTA for close to a year now and was happy and bulbous for probably 7 months then decided "I hate you and my life" suddenly without any changes that I could remember. I've noticed with the lights completely off, it will extend out slightly for the clowns, and be slightly...

Goooooood reefvening everybody!! We have decided to add a 60G BTA/Clown tank to our family. Wondering which color/types of BTAs go with which color/types of other BTAs. We have a good mix of rainbows and roses in our main tank, but we want to add some color when we are ready to move everyone...

Beautiful 8” Sherman BTA for sale. I’ve had this anemone for around a year and it’s an amazing specimen. Switching up the tank and an anemone is to much trouble for my new setup. Asking $235. Pickup only for now in Weston CT, 06883. Dm with any questions.

Hi all, I’ve had a rose BTA for nearly 3 months which came attached to a small piece of live rock. Today I noticed what looks like two aiptasia growing on the rock. I’ve had these come in on some coral frags before which I dealt with by smothering in superglue, however those were white and...

This thread is for the general discussion of the classified ad POTO Sunset Strip BTA. Please add to the discussion here.

Hi reef peeps, I recently got a BTA which seems overall healthy and happy except that only 1 tentacle is very inflated? Like a little balloon. It’s bizarre. The rest are long (not bubbled). It was this way when I received it from its previous owner. Any experience with this? Thanks!

Hi guys!! We are in our first year of building a reef / marine Tank. We currently have a 95 gallon corner tank with about 120 lbs of live rock, a tomato clown fish living in her medium bubble tip anemone, a maroon clownfish, a 3 striped damselfish, (2) domino damselfish, a coral beauty, a yellow...

I have a 140 gallon tank that has been running for about a month now(no fish or corals only 1 snail and live rock. Will be adding sand shortly) and am planning on a giant cave in the middle with live rock. I want to color coordinate the tank. I want purple-ish blue on one side and a red and blue...

I just bought two tomato clowns and a gorgeous bta for them to host/be hosted by. Both clowns came from the same tank at the LFS. My issue is that now that there is a bta in the mix the older tomato doesn’t let the younger one inside the bta. It’s allowed to be close but more often than not the...

Hi friends, I’m fairly new to the care of an anemone and am looking for some input. I just got this anemone about 4 days ago and have been witnessing some strange behavior patterns, just wanted to make sure it’s normal with pictures to elaborate. So acclimation process went pretty smooth, temp...

I’m really struggling with my bubble tip anemones (4x small, ~5cm specimens) and am running out of ideas! The tank has been running for around 15 months with bubble tip anemones first introduced 7 months ago. For the first 4 months, they were beautifully healthy, with excellent inflation, colour...

Good evening all! Relatively new reefer--I kept a seahorse FOWLR and then a nano reef for a few years, took a several year break (waiting for the kiddo to get old enough I had some time\energy\money for reefing again!) and set up a new nano tank about seven months ago. I'm running a 20 gallon...

Hello there R2R community! I bought a Black Widow BTA about a week ago and the colors on it are really stunning. However, when I first received the BTA, the mouth was gaping open and expelling brown sludge. I drip acclimated the anemone for about two hours and then placed it in an acclimation...

Hello all! I just purchased a Green BTA off of LiveAquaria. I was excited to see the nem when it got to me, but it got delayed and the nem spent 48 hours in a bag! When I opened the box I saw that the nem was inside out. There was zooxanthellae all over the bag. I floated the bag in my tank for...

Just added a BTA to my tank yesterday. It picked this little crevice itself and seemed to settle in, but this is the change I've seen over the last few hours. Is it okay or curling in on itself and dying? Thanks for the help!

So I have this rose colored bta who was happy for MONTHS…then he closed up completely like 3 months ago and I thought he died (just stuck to the rock about the size of a pea). Well, I wasn’t for sure so I kept an eye on him and left him (never opened). So about a month ago I decided it’s time to...

Not sure what happened. My nem was super happy after I switched to more powerful lights- flow hasn’t changed much. He was in the same spot for almost 6 months and now he’s moved almost to the sand bed and looks… deflated? The only thing that’s really changed is that the clownfish finally found...

Hi guys! I have something strange going on. My BTA looks like it has clusters of eggs inside it’s tentacles. I recently got this anemone and and hadn't noticed this at first. This is the only BTA in my tank. I’ve attached pictures of the mystery spheres for reference. The few things I found said...

Morning all, Was wondering if it would be alright to keep RBTA's in a basket in my 20 gal for a few months. I have the opportunity to get them nems dirt cheap and would like to pick em up while I can. I would be keeping them in a basket with a magfloat while my nano nem only tank cycles. How...
