Got my RBTA today!!!

Just thought I'd share some pics with you. Juliet has already hosted it and Romeo is desparately trying to make his way in. Sorry they're a little blurry. I'm not a photographer by any means. lol

very nice RBTA, I would keep a eye out on her though because your clowns look bigger then it, and she could smother the RBTA

and another note the maroons seem to be very aggressive to anemone's. make sure they dont beat it up. You might want to put a strawberry basket over it until it settles in

Yeah, I'm going to have to do something because Juliet won't give it a chance to fill out. It's normally twice that size. Every time it tries to bubble up she comes in and irritates it so much it stops. I got it at my lfs for 75.00. We;ve been wanting an RBTA for a while.

Definately as suggested protect that anemone... There is no doubt looking at the size of your fish and anemone that the anem will not last long if its not protected.

Ok, so I fed my tank today and I watched the male clown actually feeding my RBTA! I thought that was pretty cool. He even fended off the female so the anemone could eat. My female has stopped being so rough with the anemone and it's settled right in front of my tank. Guess it likes it there. Hasn't moved from where I put it. So far so good!

Although it looks that way... therorys lean more towards the clownfish storing food in the anemone. They dont realize that the anemone is eating the food, the anemone gets to benifit from it which is a bonus... cool either way... my pair do not bring my anemone food at all.
