RBTA--over population--Vermont

[hobie61]

Happy New Year!

I need to get rid of a few rBTAs from my tank as starting to take over. If anyone local (near Essex VT) would like some, let me know. Not sure how difficult it will be to remove them. All seem healthy, and have been the tank for almost 2 years. The original rbta was from Cultivated Reef and Pacific East. Unable to ship. Not expecting much monetary from them.

Thanks much.

Hi,

Neat. Thanks for responding to my offer for the rBTAs. Not much. Maybe $10 each. I have to figure out a way to remove them from the rocks.

Contact me at my email:

and will give a physical address, phone number so we can set up a time, etc.

Thanks again for wanting them.

Tim, I picked up an AI light from you a year or two back. I'm interested in an RBTA, though may not be able to pick up for a couple weeks. Should I email you as well?

Sure. Let me know when free. I didnt have a lot of luck removing others, but there is still a couple left and can try to remove them.

Thanks much.

Have you tried taking the rock out and holding it so the anemones hangs upside down? They will usually let go somewhat quickly. I have also had some luck blowing them off with a maxijet pointed at their foot and using a piece of plastic to wedge it off.

This method worked really well for me when I had to remove ~5 RBTAs:

Finally got around to catching some rBTAs. I have (6) in a container. All are healthy. In Essex Center. Unable to ship. Best offer. Thanks much.
