My gbta was my first nem. Had him a year. Split and sold the clone. A while back.
I got an anemone crab a while ago. Thought it would look good in my rbta. As usual it did not like my plan! So it hosts my gbta. Over the last month or two it has become obvious that the gbta is suffering. I could not figure out why. It came out less and less until it barely ever comes out now. The tentacles have gotten shorter and one side of it appears to be turning white. :-(
I could not figure it out. So I've been spot feeding it more to try and recover it. Just today I hit it with some mashed pellet food and the ceab jumped up and started wating. After the food cleared the crab started chewing on the nems tentacles. I don't know if it was eating the food off or actualy eating the tentacle. But it dawned on me that the decline started about the same time as the crab was introduced. I have 3 rbta in there that are fine.
What do yall think? Here is a before and after.
