Holy crap! How many you got?!

 

[Tristan]

Ah I hate to pass on such a great anemone, but that's a little too far for me.

 

[Isaac Alves]

I need to move a few at some point.

 

[treedog5]

If you decide to ship I would take one.

Very nice! I’m in Yorba Linda - how do you get them to keep there bubble tips?

I’ve done the same thing in two tanks that are both currently running. All my RBTAs have kept their bubbles in my care for the last 4-5 years. I wish I could say something definitive but I’m leaning toward genetics and higher phosphate. Flow is different in both my tanks so I discounted that. It’s very random in my display. In my mandarin tank, where this one has lived, it’s more laminar —- only using a single IceCap 1k Gyre.

My phosphates in both tanks run about .1 - .2 ppm. I’ve always had higher phosphate. Nitrates maintain about 5ppm. I don’t feed directly but do broadcast Rods Food daily in both tanks for the life of both tanks. I do dose Aminos and I’ve done that for the life of both tanks as well — First with Red Sea’s A and B formula and the past year and a half I’ve moved over to Brightwell’s Coralamino. Both tanks use Tropic Marin’s Pro Reef Salt....but this is only for the last year. Before that I used Live Aquaria for a couple years and before that it was Reef Crystals. Which is why I wonder if there’s a genetic component, but I’m only guessing and I have nothing to base that on; especially since I’ve only every had one anemone who got chomped up in a vortech five years ago and from that came the rest. So go figure.

Thanks for the details - I may have to nab one from you then. Are you able to hold? I’m in middle of a tank upgrade atm.
