New RBTA

He looks pretty healthy and is eating, so I think I will leave him alone. They say if they roam then they are not happy. He must be pretty happy.

 

[redvipe2010]

That is true about the roaming. But eventually he will want some light. Waiting is not a bad idea.

Sometimes they need to adjust to the new light as well. I got mine from a guy who has MH lighting (as do we) but we use different spectrums (I think that's the right word), and it stayed in the rocks for a few days, and slowly started exposing itself to the light. It came out a little farther for a little longer each day.
I don't know if that's what's going on with yours, but wanted to toss out the idea just in case
good luck and enjoy!

Well it has been a week and he is still in the pot. Any suggestions?

 

[jpa0741]

Here is a pic from today. Does it look ok?

 

[redvipe2010]

From the pic, I would have to guess it's hungry. The tenticles appear to be short.

 

[jpa0741]

I fed it a piece of formula 1 today, before the pic was taken.

 

[redvipe2010]

I have no experience feeding formula one to anemones. I typically use silversides, Rods food, and krill.

 

[jpa0741]

I have been rotating between formula1, silversides and krill.

Someone told me to hold the pot upside down and take it out of the water and let just his bubbles hang in the water. He will let go or move towards the water. Have you ever heard of this.

 

[redvipe2010]

That will cause stress, and you have no guarantee that will make him move. I only take them out of when I have to, like when they are going to a new home for example.

 

[jpa0741]

Look who is out.

I ended up taking the pot out to see if I could break it with out hurting him and he let go. I put him close to where he was. He moved a little last night, but looks like he has foot in there pretty could now. He is looking pretty happy. Thanks for your help redvipe2010.

 

[redvipe2010]

Your Welcome! Keep up with the feedings, and soon those short stubby tenticles will improve.

 

[jpa0741]

Just wanted to show an updated pic. She has settled in well and is eating great.

 

[redvipe2010]

Looking good!
