i just got a RBTA(i'll put some pictures of it on here alittle later) how long do i wait before putting it in the tank.

You mean how long to temp. acclimate? Just about 20-30 mintues. I still drip acclimated my RBTA for an hour just to be on the safe side.

k thanks, its been about 30 mins right now so i'll leave it in there for another 30. I also put a clownfish in it with it and its going threw it, so it might host:joy:

I agree with temp acclimating first, then drip acclimating or water acclimating. Many say to dump it right in but I prefer to water acclimate them.
If they were transported without much water then add enough to cover the anemone first, then proceed with the rest of the water acclimating.

Put the clown in the bag with the anemone? You shouldn't do that because the anemone may sting the clown too hard before the clown develops that immunity.

its ok i put both, the fish and the anemone in the tank and both are doing fine
