Rbta

[ReeferBill]

My rbta keeps getting bigger and bigger. Won’t split. Don’t know what strain it is. He’s huge. In a 60 cube. See pics.

If you want it to split...grab a razor blade and split it. I forget which of the big shops posted a video..but that is how they do it. just cut right down through the mouth.

Nice looking nem. I've found that if they are happy and healthy many timed they do not split. Do you want it to split, because it looks like more than enough nem for that size tank? When they start splitting they can over run a tank and can ve very difficult to remove. I bought 3 some years back that multiplied to 39.

No its perfect but my friend wanted one so I was hoping with feedings it would multiply.

Oh they'll hardly ever split if you want them to
I have heard of people cutting them in half as @BroccoliFarmer suggested. My son n law has done it but I don't have the stomach for it myself.

That nem just begs for a clownfish pair Nems and clownfish are one of my favorite combos in the tank.

If my clowns would ever figure out there is an RBTA in the tank I would ecstatic.

This is my DT


And this is where they go if they decide to leave the island and go roaming.

Same. My clowns won’t go near it. I love it. Just wanted a clone to give away.

My tank bred occalaris wont go near them. But when I got my clarkii's...little buggers jumped right in.

I've found my rbta grows until the tank walls confine it(in a Max nano) then it splits, grows again until 3 walls restrict it, then splits. Rbta seem to be the only "coral" I can actually keep and grow, and people think they are difficult

My mated Wyoming whites love theirs. Took them about a month to figure it out, and kept getting stung by it. When it's just 1, the male won't let the female in it, but now it's split again he allows her in
