Spawning has been known to crash many tanks. Hopefully someone can come up with a solution soon. Your tank was beautiful! Do you have any updated pics?

I can not to this day and is been over a year to keep SPS alive for more than a couple months i don't know what the h**l is going on i just got some LPS/ Softs and some hardy SPS for now i don't know one thing after another .
Here is some pictures i got this week.

Left side as you see i took out much of the live rock out for more room for the fish to swim around more .

I lost about five fish on the crash the two fish that i had for many years that really break my hart was my Emperor angel and my PBT.

Zoom Pm'd ya!

OK, You scared me. How common is it that an anemonie spawns and wipes out a tank? I've got 2 -12 inch RBTA's for almost 2 years and I've never heard of this.

 

[PRESTO2345]

Not very common in the home aquarium, but it can happen! That's why it's a good idea to have a QT tank running just in case.

Oh, by the way briangg57 any of your corals can do this not just your RBTA. Also pm'd you an article to look over.

I've had 3 or 4 spawning events. No problems. The water was milky white and the clowns ate the eggs. By the next morning, everything was back to normal with no trace of the previous night's spawn. No emergency water changes were done. Maybe because I had very little SPS' who are usually the first to crash and start a chain reaction?

same anemone still:

all done:

RBTA releasing eggs:

 

[PRESTO2345]

Thats a very good possibility. However in most cases one spawning coral causes another coral to spawn which creates a chain reaction. Thats when it becomes a problem.

mobert maybe thats how you ended up with so many BTAs!
I'd love to see more of your pics if you have any.

You are right. There were multiple spawn releases at the same time, but not across species. Snails only start other snails going. Same with leathers. Anemones only responded to anemone spawn.
Crank that skimmer up!

All my BTA's were from splits. I have never seen tiny BTA's. They split like tribbles.

 

[PRESTO2345]

If you have a QT tank it would be a great experment to see if the collected gaments survive. Just to see what comes out of it. With the water being that milky they should fertilize farly quickly. You would have a gold mine on your hands! LOL

 

[mobert]

LOL. There were a LOT of eggs. I would bet there is an extended free floating stage though.

 

[PRESTO2345]

I bet there would be a lot of people out here just happy to get their hands on one.

Here are a couple of pics of my new anemone. check out the odd location of where it wanted to settle (for now)

Need help with identifying this anemone. Local Fish Store said it was a Malu, but other in the forum have said otherwise.
I can take some more pics, if necessary.

Thanks!

That could be magnifica (ritteri). Turn that power head off before the nem gets sucked in.

I don't think no one here realize the size of this RBTA.
Here is a picture of it i said easy 20"+ around .
This a seven foot tank and the RBTA had the whole left side of the tank for her self .

Beautiful anemone Steve.

For Zoom,

Steve, how did you get away with all those clowns? Don't they tare each other apart?

If it was a small tank yes they will tearing each other apart.
But so far so good Ocelaris clowns they are not as aggressive as some .
Also i got the big one out of the main tank and in to the sump for two weeks because that is the one i was worrying about the most ,but i got to find out after i put him back in the main tank he is the most docile of them all .
Don't get me wrong i may still looking to see if they will stay together without them tearing each other apart when they mature.


Sorry i have to get me a glass :beer: i make to many mistakes today the anemone was on the right side of the tank.:rollface: :rollface: :rollface: :rollface: :rollface:
