Gbta

[Eric Noa]

Hello guys,

I have a GBTA and two Ocellaris and one of them when I gave the Anemone a piece of shrimp started like attacking the Anemone and took the shrimp from the GBTA. I had already fed the Clownfish before I fed the anemone.

I would chop the shrimp into very small pieces so the clown won't steal the whole shrimp.

Are the ocellaris hosting the anemone? Mine would never host a GBTA. I have a tomato hosting a GBTA> He always brings it big chunks of shrimp right away. He plays with it in the tentacles but then releases it. He never steals it.

Well he sometimes goes inside the tentacles and come backs out but that about it.. the GBTA has only been in the tank for like 5 days and yesterday I try feeding him with a very small piece of shrimp and the Clown started like attacking it and took the food.

Very nice looking GBTA

That looks bleached (expelled symbiotic zooxanthellae) to me... but maybe it is just the lighting

just keep an eye on the clowns if the anemone is small.They will beat it up(love it to death).

Mine always takes the first couple pieces of food to the nems. But it make just take time, and you dont need to feed the nem. But if the clowns start hosting well they will most likely feed it.

Yes that one does seem to look bleached.

I remember the first time I saw an RBTA that was really light bright pink I thpught it was soo cool, then I found out it was just sickly and I was mad I bought it. Luckily it started looking better after a week or so but then it went for a fun ride through a pump.
