My GBTA (pic intense)

[TheVillageIdiot]

Well, I was able to ascertain that my BTA was only on one rock, so I decided to move it to a new spot, create a nice cave right next to it (uncase it needed more time to adjust to the light) and give it a few different crevice options... and I fed it to encourage it to stay still, which probably doesn't even work, but I did it anyway...

With the new position, pictures were much easier to take, here are a few shots! Most of these are of the female, she doesn't share too much! She is about 1.75" nose to tail.

Despite not hosting in this particular anemone in the wild, my ocellaris took to the BTA in less than 24hrs.

Eyeing the camera

But she lets him get close for a few seconds, even if she still hogs the camera!

The female again, not sure if I'm up to no good or not...

more of the "eye."

And a close up crop... the female feeling safe...

Very cool, and great pics to boot. I will be getting an anemone in a few months. I hope my clowns will host it.

I have noticed that feeding helps keep them still, like you mentioned, but it takes more than one feeding. It'll take a while, but it always seems to find the best place for itsself. I have also noticed that BTA are pretty much accepted all around by almost any clown. Saddles can play too rough for them, but they still love em.

Really beautiful pictures, by the way.

It is on the move again today, i placed it in an area with a lot of crevices and caves and such, so it looks like it is moving its foot into a crevice next to it. I suspect it is also still adjusting to the MH (2x 175w over 36"x18") lighting.

I won't feed it tonight as I don't get home 'till late, but I will feed it wednessday night.

thanks for the comments!
