Tis the season.

I've read a lot of BTAs splitting lately. Ours finally did so a few days ago. Besides the no feeding for a week+, I was wondering if any other special care should be taken. I'm beginning my own tank in ~5 months. How should I move the smaller one without making him angry :mad2: ? Also, can more than one BTA live in a 75 for a while without ****ing anyone else off?

Haveing more then one bta in a tank is fine!!

A water change will help heal them faster

To move it....
Can you move the rock its attached to as well? if so....

I gently squirted water with a turkey baster around the outter disk so it would let go of all the other rocks

I moved rocks around it away from it so i could see exactly what it was attached to. moved real real slow moving the rock.. just *in case* it was stuck to two rocks...
it wasent
i put the whole rock with the nem inside the tupperware, and lidded it
took it for a ride and it was just fine. my two clown dove right in the tupperware with the nem lol

If its dug thru lots of rock. you can try pointing a powerhead at the foot and it may move


Get a shoe box size tupperware, put it in the tank (or fill it with water and have someone hold it underwater)

If you're starting your own tank in about 5 months, tack another 6 months minimum of time onto that for your new tank to be ready to keep an anemone in.

So you don't have to worry about moving the clone nem for about a year. A lot can happen in that year.

In a 75 gallon tank, two RBTA's can live just fine together.
