Hey Joey, just wanted to post an updated pic of the anemone. It is still doing great... clowns still wont even look at it.
It is probably about 4.5"-5" across the disk now, and yes the anemone crab is still doing fine...you can see him in the bottom of the pic. Ill try to get a pic later with just actinics so you can see how he has colored up

WOW...that thing looks awesome. I can see his whittle claws, awww. LMAO. Are your clowns tank raised?? I had a wild caught Maroon clown with the gold bars, and he loved that anemone so much, he used to stress it at badly. Good Job though...

very nice looking anemone!

What is that I see beside him...a hammer or bubble coral? What else have you got in your tank with him? I'm doing research, as I'm wondering about putting some leathers and a GSP in the same 30 gallon tank with an RBTA. Some say it's a bad idea, some say it will be fine.

nice rbta, what are you feeding it?

 

[ryan115]

1: they are tank raised black ocellaris...ORA i think...they host the deresa instead.
2: Hammer
3: Lots of other corals; SPS, finger leather, clams, zoas, mushrooms, gsp are fine
4: I feed him some chunks that I cut off of a snook that I filleted.

There are more pics in my gallery.

i saw your dream tank, just doing a water change would use up all of my reef budget.

Love your setup Ryan, where did u pick your Black clowns up from??

 

[ryan115]

got them at Rockin Reef for about $20-$25 a piece

does the rbta move around? sting corals?
i'm tempted to get one. Saw one at AA today in sarasota for like $60.

 

[ryan115]

It has not moved more than an inch since I put it in the tank (knock on wood). I am not looking foward to moving the tank in ~1.5months, he and I are both happy where he is and I dont want to mess with him.

rbta's aren't very toxic. mine has never stung me, and i've touched it a lot. i don't think he would harm a coral.
