Hey everyone! So I bought this nem as a RBT. Just wondering if it really is and how it looks health wise? Any input is greatly appreciated.

I have had it for about 3 or 4 months.

Not once. I have read that some just won't bubble up. Just trying to figure out if it is healthy. I feed him 3 times a week. Tank parameters are in check.

The person who definitevely figures out what makes bubble tips bubble or not will be a billionaire. I've literally seen the exact same nem half and half. It has literally nothing to do with acclimation to your tank.

This is definitely a mystery! 15 years in hobby I've had many different reef setup from small to large and all had at least 1 or 2 BTA or RBTA in my tanks. Many were bubble and very few were stringy. I'm no marine biologist but my guess the reason the bubble tip anemone is stringy is because of lighting, flow or space! I'm not saying something is wrong with your lighting or your setup! But the anemone is like reaching, perhaps the anemone isn't happy or stressing IMO. Clownfish are always good because I believe they stimulate the anemone. The feeding can be a factor. At the beginning a fed my anemones, and one day I quit feeding them because the more I fed my tank my nitrate started to rise. No matter how much fish I had in my tank I fed my tank once a day. All that food is not eaten, and your fish will find food to eat. Regarding your anemones, if your clownfish are hosting the anemone they will take care of it. FYI that is a beautiful and healthy nem.
