Beautiful nems! I would also like to be put on the waiting list for one of these.

I see that your tank is just 4 months old....just want to check in as this is a new setup and want to make sure you have all your ducks in a row before letting an RBTA go into a tank that could still be cycling ....or has the parameters still settling in...

Either tell me more about your setup, wait a little bit longer or have another member vouch for your setup.....I will defiantly put you on the list once I know it is going to a well maintained or established tank....

Thanks Jon

No problem thats fair since I understand these anemones can be quite finicky especially in a newly setup tank. I waited for my ammonia and nitrites to be zero and my nitrates were pretty low. Also my salinity of course is constant. I will try to upgrade my journal soon and try to show what I have growing. Also if you think it would be best to try out more easier items first that fine as I am certainly in no rush. If you have an suggestions of parameters that I should keep an eye on prior to adding a BTA, please let me know! Thanks!

William,

I looked briefly for your tank journal and didn't see it...so send me a link...These nems are pretty hardy as I have put them through some tough time in the past...

In the OP I have a link and the parameters to keep RBTA.

 

[Baykes]

Here is the link is here http://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/20-gallon-aio-cube-humble-beginning.18015/ . I will try to update today or tomorrow. I will also try to get this link in my sig

Just had @Kara13 pick up an RBTA and moved @Baykes up on the list.

 

[jonmos75]

@Baykes picked up the RBTA at the frag swap today.

 

[Baykes]

Yep thanks a lot Jon, I really love it! I think it found a spot it likes so I just hope it stays put

 

[Enderturtle]

Just make sure it doesnt walk into a powerhead

 

[Baykes]

Haha when I was trying to get it to stick to one of the rocks, I accidentally let it slip and was freaking out because it was floating towards my powerhead. I definitely do not want a anemone smoothie

 

[Kara13]

I"m loving my anemone. It's already tripled in size! Will post pics when it moves to an area where we can get a good view.

 

[jonmos75]

I have two RBTA that have moved to the glass for easy removal to share in the DBTC

 

[Kara13]

Highly recommend that's. They are beautiful! I have 2 and can't wait for them to split!

 

[muhli]

How big are the two? Interested in getting one..

They are not too big....

Sorry for the bad cell pic...

Looking good so far!
Only moved about an inch away from where I put him last night, hopefully settles in and like that spot - right next to his sad, new friend.

My hope is:
A) It will do well, grow and be happy.
B) With luck, serve as a source of zooxanthellae (via diffusion into the water column) for my bleached one. I imagine if it works at all, it will take some time. I saw someone on RC saying he was feeding a tentacle from a healthy carpet to a bleached one. Have not seen if it worked... But I'm not planning on doing that with these guys.

 

[Kara13]

Trying to post a pic of the one I got earlier this year. It's insanely big. Loving it!

Added myself to this chain for completeness sake. I received one of these from Jon almost 3 years ago. It is now split into 3 little nems that are slowly rebounding after being transferred to my BC29. I hope to be able to return a fully healthy clone back to Jon sometime later this year.
