Squishie89 March 4, 2014 Author March 4, 2014 Apparently she is feeling much better because she keeps trying to leave!
Squishie89 March 4, 2014 Author March 4, 2014 Right now I really don't know. There seems to be 3 choices. 1. Sell her. 2. Put her back into gen pop and see how she does. 3. Plan 2 plus add another anemone to try and lessen the clownfish beating load.As far as dealing with her tonight, I moved the rock and she came off of the rock and so I put her back on. I am hoping she will stay.
Squishie89 March 8, 2014 Author March 8, 2014 The anemone continues to improve by leaps and bounds. She will come out and sun herself and is looking amazing. She may not look like normal anemones right now, but to me she looks great. I am going to try and buy another anemone to go into the tank to try and either be the clowns host or at least help keep the clowns from going berserk on the current 'nem. Do you all suggest I add the new 'nem at the same time I release the current 'nem? Or add the new one before hand?
YHSublime March 8, 2014 March 8, 2014 I would add your new nem, see if the clowns take to it, and then put your other one in. I say odds are, they will host both, however, it might give your healing nem a little bit more of a break. JMO.
gmerek2 March 9, 2014 March 9, 2014 Sounds like its worth a try to add new one first and see if they take to it.
Squishie89 March 9, 2014 Author March 9, 2014 Yup! I have taken the advice and tomorrow I pick up a RBTA
jason the filter freak March 9, 2014 March 9, 2014 new pics? I'm getting ready to pick up a few anems from exotic but one of my committed vortechacide the other day so I'm pretty nervous to be dropping that kind of change
Squishie89 March 9, 2014 Author March 9, 2014 This was her yesterday. She continues to sun herself pretty much daily now (she spent a few weeks hiding so coming out is awesome). I do think she can and will recover, it is just going to take a while. Sent from my toaster using tapatalk2

I was scared too but it is just a risk that comes with mobile creatures Sent from my toaster using tapatalk2
Squishie89 March 10, 2014 Author March 10, 2014 I got a medium-large RBTA today. She settled in pretty quickly (I have found most 'nems do the first day, it is a few days after they move around) and had nice tentacles and such. Clowns paid no notice to the new addition despite it being in their area. After the lights went out (and still ambient light in the room) Nymeria (female) finally went over and looked at the anemone. A few minutes later Jon (male) followed suit. He touched it, wiggled in it, and was home again. As usual, Nymeria is not allowed inside the anemone. I cannot even imagine how sad she must be (if she has feelings about such things). Already some fighting going on -.-
Squishie89 March 12, 2014 Author March 12, 2014 A1 as we are now calling the "old" anemone that this thread is based on, is doing really well. She moves if you disturb her in the slightest, so I don't think she is happy about her current living arrangement, but she seems to be ... tolerating it. Still continues to sun herself daily.FTS take today. Yes that giant red thing on the left is my new anemoneShe is huge A1 says she can prop herself up and look pretty too.
Squishie89 March 12, 2014 Author March 12, 2014 Looking better, when do you plan to release her? 3+ weeks. I want her to be looking more normal before I release her, as you can see in the photo, about 25-40% of the tentacles still don't extend but will puff up, I would prefer them to look like the others before release. I also need to find a potential spot for her =X
Squishie89 March 28, 2014 Author March 28, 2014 Well I have decided to put the anemone back into gen pop on 4/5/14. Here is how she is looking tonight. I am going to put her in before the meeting while I do some work. I think she is ready. I will keep the egg crate box inside the tank for a few days after just to be sure.

Squishie89 April 2, 2014 Author April 2, 2014 Well A1 decided to leave the box early. I came to the tank to find this tonight. Luckily she is okay. Does not appear that she wrangled with the powerhead. So I placed her in the spot I had planned for her. So far so good.
Squishie89 April 3, 2014 Author April 3, 2014 Just thought I would share how she is doing today. I am so unbelievably thrilled with her progress. 2 months of isolation and she is back!
JR-Tanked150 April 3, 2014 April 3, 2014 Great job, I'm glad you didn't give up on it. Hopefully your clownfish will leave it alone.
Squishie89 April 4, 2014 Author April 4, 2014 I could not have done it without all of your support and help guys!! So far the clowns think the RBTA is much nicer (it is roomier!). But the BTA seems to be doing well, I really can't believe we made it through. It was a long 2 months and a lot of touch and go.
