My rbta wont bubble

23fabe23 · Oct 25, 2013

Need some help here. I have a rbta nem that was bubbled out all nice in the store. Did bubble slightly in my tank but then he moved and hasn't bubbled out since. He seems to be eating and has not moved around in the last several weeks. I honestly think he is happy and adjusted well. I have the same lights that the he was under at the LFS. All of my water levels are good. I think he is healthy just happier being a long arm and not a bubble tip. ;Anyone got any tips they can give me to help him bubble back out? I am happy he is doing well but would love to see him bubbled back out. thanks in advance.

No one has ever been able to provide hard evidence as to why one BTA has bubble tips and one does not. I have heard every theory out there, from lighting to nutrition....What I will tell you though is I have had BTA's in the same tank right next to one another one with bubble tips and one without. I agree that the appearence of bubble tips is more appealing, but the absence of the them in the presence of an other wise healthy anemone does not indicate a problem or need for correction.

Congrats on your new anemone.

I have arose bubble also and he did the same thing sometimes when they come home to a new tank they lose there bubble that doesn't mean they're not healthy it's perfectly normal . As long as he is attached and looks good he's OK. He might bubble again or maybe stay with a long tentacles. I love BTA s . Sadly lost a couple when I first started. Now I have a rbta. She is doing great..
