new RBTA

[Sway_A_Way]

Well my haddoni never did get better and i had someone lined up to see if he could do something with him but the nem never made it before then. so time to move on.

i picked up this gem at a local auction saturday. Ate a peice of shrimp within an hour. here are some pics


15mins after acclimation

about an hour

within hours the clowns were all over it

And heres a pic from today in the display tank

looks like she could be starting to split?? theres a distinct left section, but tonight when lights went off the shape went back to normal....

wow! that is a sweet size. it could split...it's big enough and it could be stressed enough to split but it looks healthy and happy there.

good looking anemone:bum:

 

[tpdpercula]

If its going split it will do so after being added to a new system. Looks great and happy. Keep us posted!

Very nice

Awesome anemone!

I am amazed that it has gotten to that size in a tank without splitting, mine has split 3 times at half that size, when it does you will have two that are still huge

hey thx for the kind words, i noticed today the left side started to stretch out too, so the anemone can easily clear 14" in diameter. no more signs of wanting to split other then the little indented section.

just added 22.5 lbs of caribbean live rock today as well.

AWESOME

 

[Slakker]

Yeah, I absolutely love your aquascaping! I think a pair of clowns will absolutely love your tank, and that RBTA is looking more and more beautiful by the day...great find!!!

 

[55semireef]

Yes, awesome anemone. Keep up with its feedings and it will continue to be happy and grow. I also just noticed that you have no clowns or even fish! I think a pair of Tomatos or Clarkiis would love to host that nem of yours. Good luck and great find.

 

[Sway_A_Way]

actually there is a pair of false percs in there, u can see them hidden in the lower right of anemone. lol

 

[GSMguy]

hey thats a great looking tank and anemone

 

[55semireef]

Oh, I see your clowns. I bet they are loving that anemone.

 

[Sway_A_Way]

yea the clowns dont miss a square inch of that thing.

Onto a different topic, my mag tank is going on hold for a while, im in the process of getting a new truck so i have an extra payment to pay soooooooo.. I was curious if u guys think it would be a dumb idea to add a smaller gbta to this tank here?

 

[SEAFLOWERS]

no , I don't think so, as long as it is a BTA you would be fine. I am not a big proponent of mixing different kinds of nems in the same tank. BTW, I love the aquascaping you have done, very nice
