[kevin32]

What kind of bubble tip anenome is it? I dont think it is the Rose Bubble tip Anenome, but I could be wrong..

What you guys think?

The darn thing moved to a new spot over night...

It looks a lot like mine did when I had a split I almost threw in the towel on them. I persisted and fed them twice a week with PE misys and now they are fully colored and have grown in size even before the split. here's a link to my thread maybe it can help you along the way to help your RBTA.

feed lil bits of crustacean (spelling)flesh to get color back

Uh oh.. I notice some slight brown tint on the tip of the anenome. Is that bad? I feed them live blood worm 2 days ago.

That's GOOD. That's what you WANT to see. The entire anemone should have a brownish color on its interior - that will mean it is recovering from being bleached.

 

[kevin32]

oh... ok, btw what cause them to be bleach in the first place?

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

could be any # of things, not enuf light, usually
