Great anemone! How big was it when you got it, and how long ago?

 

[TOURKID]

heh it could reach double that b4 it splits.

Very beautiful btw. yeah, how long have u had it?

heres how big mine was b4 it split 3 ways

 

[fancyfish]

the anenome was about 1/2 the size. I have had him less than a year.

What K value bulb are you running fancyfish?

Also, what kind of Foxface is that? What area is it from?

 

[CTS]

Sorry for the dumb question but what does BTA stand for. I know its an anemone. thanks

 

[fancyfish]

I am using 12k reeflux 150 watt metal halides and 96 watt true actinics.
CTS-BTA stands fro bubble tip anenome. RBTA stands for the rose colored version.
Magnificant foxface
i am hoping he splits by the way. while he is becomming quite the show piece he is just a monster. !!!!!

Thanks. I assume that is what the clown fish need for protection.

they dont NEED it at all, but they really will LOVE it if its available. in the wild it is for protection, but in our tanks, we dont usualy keep groupers with our clownfish so its not as important.

[fancyfish]

i agree. it has been like this from day one. Maybe one day it will bubble all over. Thanks

bta splitting

bta splitting

i had a rbta that was that size and it just split yesterday. that thing was huge. all i had to do was a water change. i also moved that rock that it was on.

 

[fancyfish]

tranboy
how old was yours? I will just have to wait and see. Did it splitt in 1/2 or into more pieces?

 

[RedSonja]

Pretty BTA. Look like very happy clownfish ya got there too.

I've read that heavy feeding for a few weeks followed by large water changes can induce splitting. I've never let mine split on their own though, so I can't speak from experience.

Sonja has the bravest razor on earth...lol

Whatever happens, good luck with your BTA...looks like it's been well cared for so far!
