    If BTA is white, it's bleached; FACT or MYTH?

    I never dive in my lifetime so I am not sure if you folks (who has dived) ever seen white Anemone in its natural habitat. In my experience as hobbyist, I came across some bubbly inflated white BTA (some with colorful tips) but always in my mind "Do not buy; they are not healthy; they've lost...

    Poll: How long did it take your nem to settle down?

    How long it took your Nem to settle down to a spot? From the moment it went from your plastic bag to your display tank to the moment it settles down and stay there "permanently".

    Will that red morphs become issue for BTA?

    I need to care for the BTA and will need to do anything for it to be happy. So my question is, do I need to trim the red morphs colony?

    Long story short: Day 1: Drip acclimated for 2 hours; wavemakers off for 24 hours. Day 2: Wavemakers on; she floats; tumbled here and there; even at some point, it was upside down (face/mouth down on sand substrate). Day 3 - 4: Stay on the sand substrate (face/mouth up). Today is day 5; at...

    Few questions about BTA

    I understand it's more about the placement of the wavemakers itself but wanting to undertand if it is better using wave or sine mode? Wave mode is on then off and so on, whilst Sine mode is on all the time but gradually increasing flow then gradually decreasing flow. Does it sting human hand? If...

    Bubbletip Anenome "Stalker" Attacking a Coral

    I just got my first Anenome--a bubble tip. I knew it might move a bit. I placed it away from my corals. But it moved itself near my gonipora corals. Then it moved onto a 2 inch gonipora. I moved the gonipora victim. This morning the BTA moved 8 inches during the night and has latched onto...

    Missing anenome

    Here goes my milk carton ad. I got my first bubble tip anenome two days ago. The first night he crawled under a rock and looked stuck (two or three tentacles could been seen through a tiny opening in the rock). So I carefully dismantled my rockscape moved him to a higher spot with better...

    RBTA shrank and turned white

    Tank has been running for about 6 months and everything is well. We added a Rose BTA about a month ago. It "crawled" back around the back of our rock over the first night and we didn't really see it for a couple of days. It moved back up into the flow from the power head but it was much smaller...
