do rbtas lose tenticals

[flaco626nj]

my rbta is very happy eats well bubles up after the fact always extended anlooking as beautiful as can be but today i notices that some one the tenticals were on the sand bed little tiny peaces ,glowning red .the rbta is the only thing of that color so iwas wondering do they do that or should i worry.....on yeah i have nothing in the tank that would be aggtesive toward it and clowns dont host it

I have yet to have one of my many BTAs drop tentacles without assistance from a predator or piece of equipment.

Shrimp, cowries, worms, fish, and some crabs are famous for tentacle removal/predation.

no shrimp in tank

it seems as if they are twisting of and then falling off

 

[Aaarrrggg]

I've found a couple of random tenticles on the sand bed too. I've noticed some being twisted at the base by the current, so I figured they were accidentally cutting themselves off. It doesn't seem to do any harm, they just grow back. He's thiving otherwise. (fingers crossed!)

yes he is thriving he has gotten brighter in color he doesnt move from were he is at unles its to deflate him self and he inflates alot faster than at first i just though something was hurting him something worse

I have the same observation with my RBTA. Some days I would find one or two tentacles on the sand. RBTA is still happy (in my opinion) eat a lot and spread big.
