This morning as i was looking at my tank just after the lights came on, i noticed white milky fluid coming out of my bta. I thought it was pooping at first but then I remembered seeing anemone poop and it Doesn’t look like that lol. So i searched and found out that it was spawning. Is that a...
So I've hade my BTA for about 2 weeks and he's been doing great. I've been feeding him small pieces of silversides every other day. With that in mind from time to time, his 'bubbles' go away and he looks limp (just like a deflated balloon looks). He always revives back to his beautiful self...

Hi guys, just wanted to share my most recent experience with you all. I know it doesn't mean much but maybe people can maybe benefit from it somehow :)
So I have a pair of Ocellaris for a year now, and went through a couple of anemones before with the two not even looking at them. First anemone...
Hi folks, how is it going? I’m here to ask if you guys think it’s prudent for me to add a Bubble tip Anemome to my 30 gallon tank. I’ve had the tank for almost a year and I’ve been using tap water conditioned with Prime and running lots of carbon, GFO, Purigen and a Bio pelette reactor. I keep...
I've had these BTAs and they were all doing fine and today the dark green one detached from its rock and has it's tentacles retracted? Is it dying or on the move? It was next to this rose one doing just fine. Thanks in advance for your replies.
I bought this Nem yesterday from LFS and I understand, it is bleached ... but who's here don't mind the coloring of bleached BTA? they look pretty; gives you that contrast of color.
Anyhooo ... it is currently in a breeder box and my intention is to keep feeding it .. I guess nurture it, until...
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...
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".
That is why am posting here.
Normally I handle BTA using normal hospital gloves, they are quite thin like below
Is that safe from Nem sting or do I need gauntlet gloves?
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...
Is Karens Rose, the famous karensroseanemones in Reef2Reef ? I want to ask her question if I may.
I've read her articles one by one on her site and she strongly emphasize that Anemones must eat ... it's almost she is considering Anemones are some sort of NPS and that the photosynthesis process...
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...
Hey all! I have a question that may be dumb but its something i need to know. So basically i have a green bubble tip in my tank that eats really quick! Ive only had it for 2 weeks so im pretty new to feeding nems. I feed it a small piece of shrimp every 3 days or so and every time i feed it i...
Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure this out forever and have heard mixed things over and over so finally I decided to ask the big question here… How do you get the bubble tips to inflate/ stay inflated on Bubble tip anemones? I have seen many many tanks on here and in person, some with...
I have had my RBT anemone for about a year and for the past month it has been shedding its tentacles. I thought maybe something was messing with it, but i watched it for awhile and it seems to twist the base and cut off circulation to the tentacle itself(if that makes sense) it has grown quite a...
When the light is off, BTA will expand like no tomorrow.
When the light is on, BTA will sucked all its tentacles in.
Acclimating behaviour?
It seems like it can't differentiate daylight and night.
Folks, what's happening with my new BTA?
1st day when it went in, it maintained the size (approx. 6' quite inflated).
It was fully inflated at seller's tank and foot is good, mouth is good.
Light went off, it went to a ball shape (tentacles all inside the ball).
2nd day when light went on, it...
I have a pair of cc flame tip clones that were delayed in shipping. So instead of arriving Tuesday morning they didn't arrive until Wednesday morning.
Upon arrival their water was extremely cloudy and discolored. But as I am not one to give up easily I immediately started to get them fresh...
