reef addict February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 I have my anemone for over 7 months now, compartably attached and now decide to move around. Is there something to be concerned of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallreef February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 I wouldnt worry to much (other than about that powerhead)...they get bored i think...and if there isnt alot of rock work where they were attached to move around on they leave that to try somewhere else... I have an rbta one a large rock structure that move all over it....some days he likes more light, some less, some more flow...hes very crazy!

ChrisTran February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 I could be wrong, but it looks like a Ritteri anemone. If it is, it likes to be placed where is strong light and turbulent flow. It will stop moving once it finds the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef addict February 14, 2013 Author Share February 14, 2013 I know. What suprise me is that been in one spot for quite sometime, then decided to take a tour. I turned off that power head already. Don't know what kind of anemone is this. But I have 2 more RBTA. Should I go ahead place it on the rock or just leave it until find comportable spot?

I they are the same one I saw last week! they are Rose BTAs! Sure Chuck, I will sell u 1, when time comes. I know you want that rose bubble. They move around and usually ended back to the original spot. It might sting corals around it!Just watch it.

reef addict February 14, 2013 Author Share February 14, 2013 When they move around like that, specially when they go to your glass, instead of your rocks, do you have to turn off your power head? I have 3 and one of the PH is the MP40 and it comes with some kind of cover. BUt the other 2 PH been off for 2 days now. Should I leave them off until NEMS attached to a rock and is it safe to turn them on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Puckstable February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 Is that the rbta you got from me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it move too close to the MP40 (nem chopper!), I would move the nem away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef addict February 14, 2013 Author Share February 14, 2013 Nope. The RBTA i got from you split already and just fine. Thanks Chuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaySailor February 18, 2013 Share February 18, 2013 I think you should be concerned. IME, when rbta's start to move around its because they are unhappy w/their surroundings for some reason. And anything they touch will die. In addition, splitting is not necessarily a sign of a healthy bta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova26 February 18, 2013 Share February 18, 2013 I would be concerned. My RBTA moved after being for 2 years in the same spot. It ended up in the mp40 and made the water nasty. Did you do any changes to the tank? I changed lighting in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
