    anemone and lighting?

    Is it possible to have to much lighting for a RBTA? I have two 270watt led fixtures they are about 6inch off the water surface and about two feet total for the RBTA. I'm think I might see if I can use the LFS par meter to check and see what I have. The white light is on about 8 hours and the...

    My anemone has Brown stuff coming out it's mouth

    here is a pics of mine about 2 week ago, not sure what was happening but everything look fine so far. I got answer like dying, releasing eggs (spawning), releasing waste, expelling its zoos. I would just keep watching its health, ck water parameter's and do a water change.

    bta ?

    OK it might not be splitting, it just released eggs (spawned), should I be concerned about water condition? Really don't want to loose any of my corals. One of my fish were actually eating the eggs, that was a little freaky.
