BTA Bubbles vs No Bubbles

[Jsimon]

My rose BTA was almost 8” in diameter, big bubbles, then it split, now both of them have 2” long stringy tentacles all the time

these three all started as one. one is sprinkled white and always bubbled, the other has very little white and is usually stretched out, and the one on the sand just moved there last night, but he's usually somewhere right in the middle. The weird thing is that the one in the back with the longer tentacles has his body stretched about 7 inches behind the rock but he prefers to hang out way up high like that. I'm surprised he hasn't just moved up there.

And I raise you .02 cents. I bought a rose with no bubbles yesterday. Very nice color, and long red tentacles. I got it home and did an RX dip for 15 mins. I set him on the bottom, looking pretty stringy and stressed. 15 minutes later bubbles at the base of every strand.

Sometimes mine has bubbles sometimes they don't. They never did before I got a doser and started dosing alkalinity so I tend to think an unstable alkalinity is a factor. In fact if I see they aren't getting bubbles for a while, I test the alk and it is off.

That said, I found one the other day lost in a forest of kenya trees where it couldn't get enough light and lost its bright green color. I moved it to the front and it is doing better but hasn't gotten any bubbles. It's color is improving though. Light definitely is a factor.

How is this guy doing? Didn’t think you were supposed to RX dip anemones. Was just curious how this turned out.

He’s doing great. Here is a pic taken 2 days ago.

That’s great I wonder why everyone is anti RX dip then. Hmmm. Glad that went well for you. Nice tank by the way.

Never heard of dipping an nem before

I thought you weren’t supposed to dip certain things I got my rbta a few days ago & didn’t dip it. Although I have the rx dip… too bad there isn’t a list of what to dip & with what stuff to use. Would be nice if someone came up with a book or something

I dipped my nem in bayer and the nem pulled through unscathed

I don't think it's bad to dip nems, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a good reason to do so. There's no frag plug for hitchhikers to hang out on

Red planeras were my reason

Back when I had a bubble tip in my tank, it had very long skinny tentacles until I changed my light spectrum. The BTA didn't move at all and my flow stayed the same but it bubbled up. So for me at least, light spectrum was what made the difference.

What spectrum to you go from and to?
