I'm pretty sure that those are all bubble tips.

3 BTAs.

 

[simo2004]

Sounds like I've been had but it's a huge BTA lol

 

[simo2004]

The two that bubble tips are really nice the one that is ment to be a mag is dark read under the blues

Def all btas, but nice ones at that!

The red NEM is 100% not a Magnifica.

They all look like BTA's.

 

[simo2004]

I agree after talking to the supply

Still nice and its a good start 2 of them are on the move. Think lights are to bright.


The lighter bta doesnt have bubbles any more

 

[simo2004]

all 3 are hangin upside down on the rock now still tight mouth and inflated and look fine


im assuming there doing this as my LED IS TO BRIGHT ?

There at 75% so i can drop them down a bit

I wouldn't say you have been had, its a nice RBTA which around here at that size go for more than a mag. Plus if you like it does it matter what it is? Glass half full! (For what its worth a lot of wholesalers ship BTA as mags so maybe your LFS got had too)

What kind of LED's are they?

I keep mine ~20" below my kessil a350 set at 100% blue and 30% white. If yours are not losing color then they should end up being fine. My experience with bubble tips has been that flow, ph swings and temp swings are the most common motivators for wandering in a tank with low nitrates. The one nem on the far right is fairly bleached I would keep an eye on it to make sure it does not move into a cave.

Great looking tank

Hi there the evergrow IT2040. I know what u mean I am happy with them

That's a new video from 2 night. Mouths still tight. I have turned the lights down to a peak of 80 % but most of the time there around 60

Out of interest what will happen if it goes into a cave. It does have purple tips


When would you feed. I'm thinking the weekend then had a week to settle. Will try chopped muscles

My understanding is that the evergrow put out quite a bit of light and that might be related. However, it also looks like you have a lot of flow in there and my guess is that is a big reason for the nems being on the move. They can handle a substantial amount of flow but they prefer to stretch into it or have it blow across the oral disc. Either way they like to have their foot anchored in a crevice that is sheltered with low flow and low light.

My concern for the bleached one is that it has already expelled substatial zooxanthelle and so it secluding to a dark portion of the tank will likely lead to a much quicker decline in its health.

As for feeding I don't really feed mine that often as they are photosythetic and it is not necessary. That said my understanding is that they will grow at a faster rate if fed although I am not sure if there is any research to support this claim other than anecdotal evidence.

Hi thanks for the help

Lights are now turned down and only one wp25 power head

Some of the rock work collapsed last night strangely lucky not where the nems were I've left it be for now. I will get a update video in the morning
