bta

Hello all! I just purchased a Green BTA off of LiveAquaria. I was excited to see the nem when it got to me, but it got delayed and the nem spent 48 hours in a bag! When I opened the box I saw that the nem was inside out. There was zooxanthellae all over the bag. I floated the bag in my tank for...

Just added a BTA to my tank yesterday. It picked this little crevice itself and seemed to settle in, but this is the change I've seen over the last few hours. Is it okay or curling in on itself and dying? Thanks for the help!

So I have this rose colored bta who was happy for MONTHS…then he closed up completely like 3 months ago and I thought he died (just stuck to the rock about the size of a pea). Well, I wasn’t for sure so I kept an eye on him and left him (never opened). So about a month ago I decided it’s time to...

Not sure what happened. My nem was super happy after I switched to more powerful lights- flow hasn’t changed much. He was in the same spot for almost 6 months and now he’s moved almost to the sand bed and looks… deflated? The only thing that’s really changed is that the clownfish finally found...

Hi guys! I have something strange going on. My BTA looks like it has clusters of eggs inside it’s tentacles. I recently got this anemone and and hadn't noticed this at first. This is the only BTA in my tank. I’ve attached pictures of the mystery spheres for reference. The few things I found said...

Morning all, Was wondering if it would be alright to keep RBTA's in a basket in my 20 gal for a few months. I have the opportunity to get them nems dirt cheap and would like to pick em up while I can. I would be keeping them in a basket with a magfloat while my nano nem only tank cycles. How...

just added a BTA about an hour ago after acclimation, just a little guy! How long does it usually take for the tentacles to extend? They weren’t as tight at the store or in my pitcher during acclimation. Could it have too much flow? I know they’ll move if they want, just want to know if it looks...

So I’m not sure why the middle of the tentacles are pinched like that, I don’t have very heavy flow blowing at it. the other day one of the pieces that were Pinched detached, is this normal?

Found one of these on a rock I got from LFS. Didn’t think much of it, now after 4 months there’s 2. They’re about the size of a small zoa polyp. ID?

My BTA was doing fine last night. Then this morning he was no where to be found and I found two small pieces of him on the sand and my water had a milky hue. I read that is a sign of death. I’ve moved a few rocks to see if he is there and I can’t find a sign of him besides the two small pieces...

I recently added a bubble tip anemone to my tank and it does not seem to be happy. When we first put it in it looked beautiful. I put it in a medium to high light spot in my tank with little flow and the rock even had a good sized hole that the anemone could put his foot down and attach too...

So I purchased my first bubble tip anemone and a porcelain crab from my lfs. drip acclimated for 2 hours before entering it into my display. It decided to set up camp behind the rock work so photos are hard but will attach below. today i noticed it was completely deflated and shriveled I quickly...

Hope you night is going well! Check out my Anemone and clowns. Any Nano Anemone tanks out there?

What are these white spots? I’m assuming it’s sand but I might be wrong.

Hi everyone, About 3 months ago, I was rearranging some rocks in my reef and didn't notice my BTA was behind one of the them and I accidently smashed it. It seemed pretty bad, the BTA was pretty much inside out, but after reading about some miraculous recovery I decided to put it on a quiet...

I recently built my 40 breeder 20 sump setup. Stand hood and all, even lights!! Check out my build thread. I've had great numbers for days. Moved my livestock today. Everything looks good except my 1 bta. I managed to rip its foot! I'm extremely disappointed in myself. Should I quarantine it...

So I want to discuss some experiences with other reefers who have anemones because I had a very scary/crazy experience today. Long story short, I had been moving some rocks around in order to get a fish out and I accidentally tore my BTA IN HALF. I might have gotten extremely lucky because the...

My BTA decides to be a diva and shrivel up every time my LED’s go from daylight to sunset.. Perfectly happy and healthy during the day and once the LED’s switch, it shrivels up and poops for about an hour. Any fix to this?

Hi! Am worried about my BTA. I know nems could be weird but this guys looks awful to me. My tank is a 40 gallon, about 7 months old now. I recently purchased this nem about 3 months ago. He was doing great in my tank and immediatly stuck where i put him. A couple days ago he decided to go for a...

My heater fell onto my big beautiful BTA last night and cooked half of it. I fragged it to try to save the half with less damage. Both sides are in a quarantine box and both are alive and the foot is sticking. The “bad” half looks really bad but does have a few live tentacles. The “good” half...

Hey everyone, first post on here! Just added a BTA to my 32 gallon bio cube, has been up several months and levels are good. He closes up at night and comes out during the light hours. He won’t take food after 7 days, but looks healthy. Thoughts?

Hey all! I'm fairly new to this hobby, and have a question. For reference sake, I'll be using the AquaOne Mini Reef 120Litre tank. I've been looking at getting two clownfish, but have been thinking maybe only getting one and then a buddy fish they get along with well. Anyone recommend a fish...

Hey everyone! I need a bit of help choosing the correct tank size for my ocellaris clownfish. I’ve got the options to pick between a 96Litre (25G US) and a 120L (31G US) tank. I’d normally always go the bigger sized tank, but I’ve found an amazing deal on some new preowned equipment which...

I just got this Bubble Tip anemone from Live Aquaria. I got three. One died in transit. One is doing incredible, nice and fluffy hosting my clowns, eating a little bit of Silver side. The third is questionable. I don’t know if it’s okay. It is not fluffy, it doesn’t want to eat. The clowns like...

Hi, I have 4 anemones and they are losing their color. They are turning darker so more of a brown color rather than the rainbow it should be. Any suggestions on why this is happening? Thanks in advance
