This is what i got from Blue zoo aquatics.com. Funny huh? Its about 1 inch. Those shells next to it are those of a hermit crabs!!
Well i guess when a RBTA is going for 44$ (usually 80 they where having a sale) that is what you get. But it is a true rose even its foot is a very deep red. What do you suggest i do to make it grow fast so i can see it without a magnifying glass!! I think they little guy is kind of cute.:lol:

Frequent feedings, it should grow fast. Do you have clowns? If so hope they don't want to host it until it grows a little. Even though small, it is quite a stunning rbta!

feeding every other day or so of foods like mysis soaked in selcon should be perfect. beautiful color!

That's a pretty crummy LFS. I would have to find a different LFS, even if it wasn't very local...

I have to drive an hour to the nearest pet store. It's another hour further to the next one. It makes going to the fish store that much more special.

Wow, epic fail, sorry to hear about that. At least it wasn't a very expensive clown like a latz or something

That's not much of an anemone for that price, but I guess it's what the market will bear.

On the bright side, regular feeding and good lighting will give you a decent size anemone in a few months.

That's a horrible story, so sorry that happened to you. It however is a good thing for your little bubble tip though, clowns could damage such a small anemone. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it grows up, it's going to be a beauty.

A nem that small is very fragile. Good lighting, flow and twice daily feedings. That's what I did. Do not let any clowns get near it until it gets bigger. They will kill it.
