I’m setting up a radion, what is a good lighting schedule for BTA. It is a hybrid T5 aquaticlife fixture.
Can you share your schedule? Anyone experienced?
I just got a bta from a lfs yesterday. This morning, it hides inside the rock, nem is around 3” still inflated. I turnes light off last night. Should I use powerhead to force him out. Or just turn on the light and let him settle down? I know I will stress him even more if I point the powerhead...

It’s been 3 weeks now, planning to make a clown harem. Here is the plan, if you guys have any...
So I have 3 clownfishes, 2 Davinci and one black ice. I have 4 RBTA, which I just got. I put them on the floating box. I caught the 3 clownfish and put them on the box. all 3 of them hosted after couple of hours. after day 2 I released the clowns and the nems in my tank. but its been 3 days now...
Sorry to say that these babies will not last long... About 4 months ago, we moved this pair of clowns into our display tank and they have adopted my Red BTA...and made a home! We'll watch this progress and post an update or so along the way.
I have a very large BTA who has split multiple times and is now big enough to sting and/or shade corals. Plus it's really hard to get the splits out of the tank.
I don't think I'd have a BTA if I started over but now my clowns are very happy with her.
If I wanted to replace the BTA and keep my...
My BTA split into three about 6 weeks ago. I've been waiting for them to fully heal before I try to remove them from the rockwork but today I noticed one was going for a walkabout.
And the race began.
I was trying to loosen the foot and remove the anemone from the rock.
Lucy III was trying...
I just started my new nano 10 gallon waterbox. I'm hoping to turn this into a BTA and clownfish tank. Just waiting on a Cobalt pump in the mail. The pump it came with doesn't fit very well, and makes a loud noise against the glass. When it comes to lighting, I will eventually add a Kessil tuna...
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...
Hello guys/gals,
$250 gets all 19 frags and the BTA and rock flower nem. I can also include an emerald crab or two, and the frag stand shown.
I initially paid about 700 for all of this plus 6 additional frags not included as they are gone (I know, massive markup in the coral world).
Due to...
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".
I bought a rose BTA from a lfs a month ago and it has been doing great. Readily eating pieces of shrimp i feed a couple times weekly, and expanding to about 5 inches with great bubbles. However I notice that when he really stretches out, if you look close you can see through the orange tentacles...
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...
Is this like a good idea to cover wavemakers?

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...
I'm looking to buy my first anemone, I can travel anywhere in LA County on weekends, but on weekdays only in SFV. I'm somewhat open to buying a rock flower anemone, I just need a bit of persuasion.
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...
