Bta question...

My gtba is acting different. It's typically "sitting" on it's rock with its tentacles fully open. Now it's stretched up, still open, but now I can see it's foot and about 5" off stretched "body" before the actual disk starts.
I moved a power head a couple weeks ago....could that be the cause?

Mine do that a lot. I don't think you have to worry as long as your lights aren't getting old.

Yeah, the lights should still be kickin just fine.the gtba looks really good, but stretched lol.

Is it reaching towards the current?

It's reaching up towards something lol. I'll try reposition a power head and see if things change. Even though it looks healthy, it has no "bubbletips"....any suggestions?

nobody really has any idea why bubble tips loose their bubbles, I have a hypothesis however, I have a rainbow anemone
here it is before I started feeding in excess

after (not a good pic)

the first pic was t5's second was LEDs it still has the same colors leds just seem to mess with the turn out of the photo a bit

so anyways I think one reason bubble tips loose bubbles is decreased nutrients, when theres more nutrients they bubble up to increase the amount of permeability so they take in more nutrients.
but like I said its just a hypothesis and i cant say for sure
