New BTA healthy?

WhySoSeriousDory · Feb 23, 2022

Got this BTA this past Saturday. I placed it in the front and it moved to the back under the lowest light. Moved it one time to the front and it moved back that same night so I decided to leave it. It bubbled when I had it under the light up front but idk. This is what it looks like and I appreciate any BTA advice/info given!

when I had it up front…

and where it moved to. It extends out but what do y’all think ?

It will move to a dark area when there is too much light or water flow
Assure moderate light and moderate water flow

+1 let it be. Let it roam. It knows what it likes more than u think it does. Lol
Looks super healthy and bubbly in your 1st pic ya. 2nd pic looks like a night pic when lights are out? If it extends out of its spot to the light its doing good and what nems do. Lol.

So this morning it was inching to the light. the parts under the light were bubbly while the other were longer (due to less light of course). Maybe it is acclimating itself- pretty cool though.

Hi! I have a green bubble tip anemone. I got it with two black Darwin clownfish but it's not green...? It's like a light pink/peach color with little pink dots on the tips. I'm positive they gave me a green bta so Idk what's wrong with it. Do they need color enhancing supplements like corals or as they grow they develop their color? It even didn’t look that green under the supplier's blue LED lights. I have an actinic and white combo so I’m not sure if it’s just not the right lighting? Is it unhealthy? Idk what to do.

Picture? Maybe post a new thread on the subject. More will chime in with responses too.

Nems have often hid out for a bit when I first placed them. Keep your hands off though. Every time you move it makes things worse. It's in a new situation and is just trying to protect itself.
