wow this is cool

Just got these guys about a week ago and there doing awesome. This is my first anemone and it is doing great.

 

[snailheave]

very nice.
how long did it take the clowns to accept the rbta as their host?

 

[ross]

Thanks
They didnt show much interest in it at first, but as soon as the lights went out they went into it. :thinking: :yes: :happyfish

 

[snailheave]

so this happened in the course of less than a day's time? what luck you have!

A very nice pic to be sure. I do wish I'd started out with the RBTA 4 years ago instead of a reg. BTA, many folks tell me that the RBTA is a bit more touchy though. Your clowns look good and the RBTA looks healthy.
Good luck
Thomas

I'm doing the same thing right now I just got two more true perculas that I'm pairing and I have RBTA I want them to host. I have only them some rocks and the anemone in my 55 so hopefully it's just a waiting game now.

Greg,
Looks like your female is either carrying eggs or swallowed a Turbograzer.

What is the Kelvin rating on your lights or what type of lights do you have with the anemone? We have 2 175 20K MH coralife and the tenacles don't bubble like that.

[viper_930]
