Do RTBA's only split??

[Kmiec123]

I have some very small possible RTBA's 3-4 on a new Piece of LR I received from a guy who had a RTBA. So they only split to reproduce or can I have some babies on my live rock? Thanks in advance....Carl.

They do split, but they also release eggs and sperm into the water column to reproduce.

Can you post some pics?

It's unlikely they're RBTA offspring but a picture would be a big help. Do a search on pseudocorynactis and see if that looks like what you've got.

Don't they also "bud"? THis is when they make a small nem off their oral disk or foot area, I think.

 

[skeeter-doc]

but aren't pseudo's coldwater anemones?

Could be majanos. Pictures would help.

Yep. I agree.

You know you're a 'nem addict when...

You don't have hitchhiker 'nems to identify but you still go look this up to see what they are. And spend half an hour going "Oooooh. Pretty!"

They are pretty, just not BTAs.

I did not have to look them up, I had them in my tank, so the guess was easy.

 

[Kmiec123]

Sorry not getting back right away...Tankd for all the responces...Gonna go get some pics...Wait one.

 

[Kmiec123]

Best i could come up with

Size is less than a dime here is a tank shot for scale...Cirled in Pink.

 

[RedSonja]

Do they look kinda like this?

-Sonja

 

[Kmiec123]

I don't think so, Although there're small, they have definite bubble tips on them...Picture kinda shows that. I guess I'll feed and see what happens. I got a couple of younger Percula Clowns that will love them if they are. Carl

Cool. Keep the thread updated, interested to see how they do.

We have a couple of hitchhiker 'nems in our 75g that I don't mind staying, but after figuring out they are probably a Telmatactis sp. that might pack a wallop, I make sure to give 'em a wide berth when working in the tank.

Well, the guy I got the rock from loves the Anemone so it would be cool to get a piece I squirted a little ROD food at the three I can see, they seemed to eat...I will keep posted. Any other thoughts? Carl
