gbta covering rbta

[SNAKEMANVET]

My gbta is total covering one of my rbtas.I thought it might move but has not done it yet.It has been covered for about 3 weeks now.Do you think I need to move it or just wait it out.

 

[WDLV]

How do they look?

 

[garygb]

If it's easy enough to move, then I would, on the other hand if moving it is going to be a pain it is probably ok to leave it the way it is.

 

[WDLV]

If they're healthy looking, I'd just leave them be.

They are not extending their tentacles, and I cannot tell if they are eating.I will give it another week and try to move it.The gbta is attached to two differant rocks.

 

[WDLV]

I wouldn't wait a week since they are already injured.

Imoved the rock around alittle so now it can extend toward the lights when they come on tomorrow.Thanks guys for the advice.

I expect the MH will burn those roses, even more so since they have been sheltered under the GBTA's. Can you slowly acclimate to the MH?

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

They are still on the underside of the rock, but now they can extend without a gbta being on top of it.

 

[garygb]

Sounds like that should work fine.

 

[WDLV]

The main concern I would have would be that they might be stinging each other. If they're not stinging one another I don't think shade is much of an issue. Mine have done this for several months with no apparent ill effects.

Actually, I'm having the same problem, except mine is of 3 roses being on top of each other. There were originally 2 RBTA's, but one of them split overnight, and the "pair" are covering up the other RBTA, which is looking deflated. Should I wait and hope they move?

 

[WDLV]

Let it go a while. Especially if they're clones.

I moved the rock around,and now it has moved up toward the top.It is open and looks good. Thanks guys for the info/input.
