RBT Anemone help!

Selter904 · Sep 10, 2012

Not sure what is going on, or even if anything is wrong. I have two RBT in my tank, they started as one, and then split about 3 months ago. The smaller of the two has (in the past day) moved for the first time in months, and is now shrunken up and protruding from the tip of each tentacle is a clear blob looking mass. I have never seen this before and looking for any information on what is going on, and what this means? Please help.

The other nem is normal.

I haven't seen that before. Hopefully someone has some experience with this and can shine some light.

My thought is that it is okay and just wait to see what happens.

I have not seen this either.It looks like it is on one side. Did it brush something and get stung? You may look closer and see if you can find anything near it.

Ask Marvin or Anemonekeeper what they think.

Selter904 · Sep 10, 2012

Thanks for the responses, the picture does not do it justice, it is on all sides. I have not been able to find anything online about it yet. I will send Marvin and Anemonekeeper PMs here shortly after dinner.

He has continued to move through the night, and is not back near his original hole, the clear masses extending from the ends of each tentacle have seem to of receded, but there is still obvious holes/divots in the ends of each tentacle from where the clear masses were.

All in all it seems more normal then yesterday, but still deflated and hiding.

Mag seems a bit low, but I'm not sure if that would harm it or not.

I'd give it Alittle and she how it does. As long as the foot and mouth look good you should be alright

I have found Karen to be a great help with BTAs. This might help. Her help website specializes with bubbletip anemones.
