We bought a RBTA and a GBTA awhile back from a local fish store from their display tank and put them in our 90g. Actually it was my wife who finally convinced them to sell them. They came on 1 large rock and she picked a few other bare rocks from their holding tank. I broke the rock in 2 pieces and put the large piece with BTAs in the 90 and the smaller piece in our 29g.

My son happened to see this poking out today from behind one of the rocks we put in the tank. We either got another RBTA that is really dark colored or a LTA that's rose colored. Either way as long as its been in there and the fact that we didn't feed or anything for this long its amazing its alive at all.
Sorry for the bad pic but it could only be seen from a small hole in the front and not from the sides or top at all. Going to see if I can squirt some krill and mysis in there somehow and get it some better food.

I know its a bad pic but sure looks like its going to be a nice color if I can grow it out..

We were able to move one of the top rocks tonight and its definitely a small RBTA. Dont know how it got there since the others are in the 90g tank but it looks like we have 3 BTAs now....Its only the size of a quarter but has a nice foot to it so far.

Possible it was a split from the other or maybe a chunk tore off one and had enough to regrow?? Its attached to one of the bare rocks she got I tossed in the back of the 29g to seed for the new 210g

Its just funny it would pop up so many weeks later,
