bta

I woke up this morning to find that my 8” BTA split. Okay. On closer examination, it looks like she isn’t finished yet (check out the photos). Care wise, should I do anything or be worried? That’s a lot of energy being used in such a short amount of time. How long does it usually take for...

Hey guys! A couple of days ago I got a beautiful Green Bubble Tip anemone and a Maroon clown from the LFS. They were doing great, but the anemone during the night got sucked into my Jebao OW-2. Luckily I saw it quite soon after it happened, and immediately turned it off and angled it so that the...

I just got this anemone and and drip acclimated for like 1 hour and put it in like 20 minutes ago I just want to know if it looks fine because it is deflated

Sorry if this has been posted/asked before. I have about 17 anemones in my aquarium. I started with 2 originally and they've split several times. They are BTAs but they only bubble sometimes as everyone knows already. My question is why do some of my nems have their mouth sticking out. I'm not...

My tank is a 10 gallon bta tank, hoping to fill it up with lots of bta and splits to spread the love of bta. ATM using a kessil 160we 6inches above water. Current bta are 4 rainbow , 1 black widow, and possibly sunburst. There’s some zoa frags, a gsp, Xenia, and a dragon tongue algae. I have...

Hello everyone, I just brought it home yesterday and am super stressed about it.. I placed in a spot I liked, woke up to it in an entirely new spot ( I know is typical). I have a mix of corals in the tank, so i know if they are healthy or not. But I am new to anemones, so I was wondering If you...

I bought a small bubble tip Anemone Friday 6/12/20. It looked good in the store; vibrant colors, holding on the container. It was about the size of a half dollar. When I brought it home I immediately began in-the-bag acclimation over the course of an hour and a half. It was open and sticking to...

Are pom pom crabs safe with bta as I know that the pom pom crab carries anemones in its claws? Will this be an issue. I can't seem to find a thread about this. Everything I've seen says they are reef safe

I am looking at buying a bubble tip anemone for my reef tank. The only thing that is putting me off is that my favourite coral is attached to some Rock in a way that means I cannot move it. All of my other coral is free and easy to move out of an anemones way whilst if finds its footing but the...

Hey all - So I’ve had this rainbow BTA in my tank for around a year. After a while, one instantaneously became three, which are all now pretty much dominating space in my tank. Today I noticed one moved from it’s preferred spot. I was doing some maintenance and saw this in it’s old spot...

Aiptasia Eating Filefish and Bubble Tip Anemone I have been cleaning up a frag tank of mine and I have an aptasia problem. I previously had success with an Aiptasia Eating Filefish but traded him to another reefer once I got a fixed the problem. I got rid of him because he was eating my soft...

I bought a BTA (which was sold to me as a LTA :/ ) and it would not stop moving around my tank at first. It eventually walked all over a patch of zoas. I noticed after this a pink slime-like substance at the roots of the zoas, and honestly thought they had been stung and were as good as dead...

Hello everyone, I've had my BTA for a quite a while now and it was doing great for the first 3 months I had it. Great color, size, and length of tentacles. One day he decided to move from his spot in my tank and ever since he has been quite a bit smaller and not willing to open. Pictured is the...

I got 2 BTA 3 days ago for my 3 month old 30 gallon tank. I am well aware it’s a new tank. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I have an established 60 gallon tank I could move them to just not sure if I should or not. Please give me some advice!

The snail was pressing on the BTA’s foot (I guess) and he flattened out, then pulled the turbo into his mouth. Should I be worried? I’ve read of anemones suddenly dying after eating snails. BTW, there is another turbo right behind it. Thanks for any advice

This RBTA is about the size of a baseball when open, but was shriveled up to maybe an inch and a half this morning. I feed it one or two San Fransisco Bay brand krill every day. Parameters below: Ammonia: 0.5ppm on API, 0ppm on accutest sticker Nitrate: 5ppm Ph: 8.2 Calcium: 400 mg/L (20 drops)...

So everything in my tank looks great but my BTA won’t open. It’s been at lest 2 months of prolonged closure and it’s moved once about 2 weeks ago. I have had this BTA for about 6 months and I can’t figure out why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated.

This black widow is 4-5” with great coloring asking $300 shipped. Standard 2 hour DOA with pictures in bag upon arrival.

So about 10 days ago I got my first BTA. I planned to get one later this year and start an anemone tank, but the opportunity came by sooner and I got it on a little bit of an impulse. So I purchased it, got home in the evening and added him into the tank. Watched him a little until it was...

I’ll be the first to admit that my tank (at four months old) was too new for a BTA. However, the salesman my LFS here in Chicago was convincing. My second tank, an AIO, and weekly 30% water changes - I thought I could master this one. After 1+ months of thriving in the tank, came home to a...

This bta is about 3” across when fully opened, I’m asking $80 shipped. Feel free to pm any questions!

Looking for a new centerpiece host for my clown tank since the xenia was too much.. I can pay shipping or pick up if located around Tampa.

Well I made a post in "tank emergency" last night with one reply and that was by me! Hoping for some help before its too late. Basically my BTA's went from pic number one to the last two pics. Yes they have moved and yes even in this state they will eat if I feed them which I have done sparingly...

I have a 13.5G Nano set up and my 1 Ruby BTA decided to split suddenly. I now have 3 BTAs and even though my clowns love it, I'm not quite sure what to do. It's been about a week and a half and all 3 look healthy and mostly healed from what I can tell. I'm being religious about dosing my tank...
