Green BTA

How often do bubble tip anemone's deflate.

 

[Mr tap water]

Hi there
I have a couple of these guys and mine deflate every night

 

[Liquid360]

Yeah I've got a couple and one deflates daily the other doesn't. Nothing to worry about. We all expel waste in our own way

 

[Palting]

Generally every night. But, they do occasionally deflate and turn into a green "apple", LOL, ant odd times for a variety of reasons.

Unless you are talking about the bubble tips. For some strange reason, the bubble tips on my BTA stay deflated most of the time, masquerading as an LTA rather than a BTA. Quite common with a lot of BTA specimens, and nobody seems to have figured out why.

I have had other types of nems like the condy but never had a BTA got up this mourning and it look like something had suck him dry but all plumped as we speak.

Thanks for the help and the info.

My green BTA deflates almost every night. Really upsets my clowns that are hosting it.

What's that called why can't I have purple

Are you asking about my photos? Those are just of my green BTA. The purple tips are standard character for these, but they are accentuated by the true actinic T5's in the light fixture.

Oh mine dosent have it

 

[reefwatcher]

I wish my clown's would host my BTA

 

[Liquid360]

It can take months for the magic to happen.

 

[Liquid360]

oh just FYI.... don't try stapling the clownfish to the anemone cause that doesn't work at all.

 

[calvo15290]

I wonder if the picture trick works

 

[Liquid360]

It didn't work for me. I tried everything. The only thing that kinda worked was a spotlight on the nem during nighttime hours. The clowns spent that time in the light close to the nem. In the end it just happened one random day. Suddenly all my clowns were fighting over it.
