Nope...no problems so far. I've only had it like a month so far but shes very docile...the Bluw throat are ment to be the most reef safe. it is also still small, so when it gets bigger I have a feeling thats when I have to worry about the shrimp and stuff. But as long as you keep them feed, I don't see any problems anytime soon. I feed the fish 2x daily and I had feed her freeze dried krill. she nipped my finger once, but just felt like a little pinch! great little fish...lots of personality. When I leave the room, shealways goes behind the rocks, but as long as I am in the room with the lights on she is always swimming around!

nope...its only oved 2x since I've had it since April....once when I first got it...and once about a month ago when a rock fell on it and it moved back to a more stable rock. I wonder sometimes if my lights aren't bright enough though. I only have 220W. Its tenticles aren't as long as most BTAs I've seen but I've never really seen one this big either! so who knows! good luck!

Bret61080, Bubble tips are exactly the opposite of most anemones. You can tell they are healthy when the tentacles are short and plump-as yours are. When they are long and stringy, they are either hungry, are upset, or not getting enough light!! It looks great!! I also see you finally found a white ghost eel!.
