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...

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...
