IMO its just getting used to your tank. when anemones excrete waste out of their mouths, its usually due to stress. keep an eye on it and watch you water parameters. looks like itl make it.

I've been feeding my percula mysis shrimp for weeks and she has loved it. She used to eat the most out of everyone in the tank. Now when I feed her, she quickly pecks at the food, but never actually eats. If she does eat, she spits it out immediatly. Should I try different food? Any tips...

lolz i love em

thanks! i was pretty stoked.

Here are a few recent shots of my Percula & Ocellaris pair. I was weary about puting the two together, but they have paired up right away. In fact, they just jumped in my RBTA last week. Tank is a 12 gal JBJ, lighting 70 watt MH. I understand the whole taboo to keep an anemone in such a...

honestly, do what you feel. either way is fine. i personally go the natural route and took out the carbon and bio balls. I have used only the sponge filters in the back and LR rubble for almost 3 years and have never had any major issues. in fact, ive kept an RBTA in my tank for 7 months now...

anyone know where I can find a replacement 70wt MH sunpod bulb online? thanks!

probably nothing bigger than a goby. shrimp would be a nice addition too.

same tank, different set up. as of now, ive kept a RBTA with a pair of perculas and a royal gramma that WONT come out lol. I'll post pics when i find some time. before everyone freaks out.... I know keeping a RBTA (or any anemone) in a 12 gal seems rediculous...but...its been in my tank for...

Here are some shots of my 12 gal from last summer. Sad to say, the power went out one day in august, and the entire tank died out within a matter of days! Anyway, I know they are old shots, but its sunday and i'm wayyyy bored. enjoy FTS no flash blasto clown (rip) w/zoos

ok so i've kept the RBTA under 70 watts and it seems to be doing well. full arms, open all day, etc. i bought some krill frozen cubes. i thawed it out and found that it is all chopped up...would this be worth feeding my anemone? If i do feed it raw shrimp, how often and how much should i feed...

sorry for all the posts... Would it be possible to add another RBTA to my tank if I already have a well established RBTA in there? Will there be conflict? The tank is 12 gal. Thanks ps perfectdark, if you're reading this, the 70watt is already doing wonders!

awesome! ill hook it up first thing when i get home. thanks alot for the help guys!

the man i bought it from has kept his RBTA in a 12 gal under the same lighting for 2 years. in fact, i bought one of his splits. he said i shouldnt be too concerned. if i do switch to MH, and have to do daily top offs, will the RO water effect the RBTA?
