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.
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...
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...
Title says it all. I was cleaning the tank and my hand brushed the RBTA which returned the favor with a sting. It felt like a needle sticking into my finger and there was something left on the sting site which I quickly brushed off without taking the time to look at it. First time this has...
Hello Guys, Were moving out of the state within the year. I’m selling the set-up equipments and livestocks. But have to sell the livestocks before I can ship or have the equipments picked up.
Buy more to save. Livestocks are for pick up only unless you want to pay for shipping and shipping...
I just picked up a BTA from my LFS, and I was planning on finding a Black Widow BTA to go into the same tank eventually. When I showed a picture of the nem to a buddy of mine who is super heavy into the hobby, he told me that the nem I picked up was a wild nem, and it would nuke any aquacultured...
Technically this is not a new tank build, but I recently fragged and sold off many of the corals and moved a few pieces of rock to my Waterbox 10 for Pinky (See my build thread here), so I thought it would be great to document my larger experimental "practice" nano as I restart it with new...
Been a lurker for a while, but I'd thought I'd start up a build thread and share what I have going on.
I started reefing with a 12G Fluval Edge about 3 years ago and it took all of about 6 months for me to upgrade to my first "adult" tank. My Red Sea Reefer 250 has been running for exactly 912...
Hey Reefers-
Looking for a small Colorado sunburst. Please don't send me regular BTA photos with an asking price of $500, claiming they're Colorado's; I know the difference :)
Best,

I'm currently having a Nem tank with around 17 BTA, 1 SRBTA, 2 Sebae. My question is I want to add a S.Gig ( small/medium), can I do that ?
I know new nem will find its own spot to settle, will it kill my other nem?
Most of the Btas are about 4 inches aboved the sandbed.
Anyone have experiences...
Just got this georgeous Sherman’s bta about 3 days ago now and it was about 4-5 inches and looking good with all the parameters in the tank stable. It’s shrunk down to almost nothing after I woke up from a nap and saw it all shriveled up please help me figure out what’s wrong. The other day fed...
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...
As a continuation to my previous post, seems that the options have now narrowed down to two choices for my 12x12x12 build with BTA as the focal point. Please cast your vote for the AI Prime HD+ or Kessil A160we! Also, if you have one of the two, please list any concerns or changes you would...
I have been in the hobby for more than a year, decide to upgrade my 20 rimless to 65G tank.
DIY tank stand + sum 20L from petco
Add on some triming
I did not want to drill hole on my ceiling or wall because it would be set in a new house, so I found on rack which look something like this...
I purchased some Rainbow Bta from @ugluk. Nems came very healthy, fully open after a day, nice coloration.
:)
Will follow up with some pictures.
(Btw anyone know how to take good pics of Nem under radion? I’m using Iphone
Stocking up my tank with Bta, anyone in here use CORALLAB AB+ for anemones ?
If not, can you post your Radions schedule? I'm also running hybrid with 4bulb T5 (B+,C+,B+,P+)
