hey thomas heres a better pic of one of my RBTA's u said u didnt really know if thats what they were.... i have my new light set up and everything seems to be enjoying the new lights!!
let me know what u think?
hes still a little small i guess about 4" in diameter how big can he get??

Ah now that looks more like a green bubble tip drunk on redpop.

Much better, responding well is he? Yeah RBTA and he looks like he's doing well for now.
Let me know if he moves toward the light higher in the water column or away from it.

its kinda wierd cuz the one in the middle of my tank stay there toward the lower part hes much bigger like 7" across but his tentacles arent inflated lioke a bubble tip the other one stays more in the shaded areas of the rocks but hes got the classic bubble look....
do u have any idea whats the deal with that??
it confuses me since they both came from one and split....
what do u think ??

How long has it been since the split?
Mine seem to like the sides of the tank, about 8-10 on one rock on the right side, but I have 3 BTA's that wandered over to the extreme left side just like the one you have, on the side of a rock kinda facing away from the light, not sure why they do that, and they have been there for a long time, even after splitting.

um id say they split a good 5-6 months ago....
i wonder if it makes a difference too since the bigger one in the middle of my tank is hosting my tomato clown ... does that make him happier so in turn he gets bigger or something??
well i hope this new light setup keeps them goin strong....
