Ok - get your minds outta the gutters - this isn't a Seinfeld episode. I'm talking about the cute little anemone that I got from Greg. It hadn't moved in 2 days, but it finally moved today. Greg, I see what you mean - I may never find it again!
That's it! Greg told me they multiply alot, but they aren't nuisances like aiptasia - thinking of getting a Copperband to get rid of those little bastards! Ahhh...change of subject...Millar just hit a 2 run homer...I still have faith.
BUMMER on the Copperband and Tulip!! Will the Copperband eat my RBTA?? The game just tied at 6-6. I have only been listening, not watching, because I've been reading all the threads on BRS and RC, so I'm not really sure about Wakey. But tie game is not good
The CB will not eat the RBTA, I don't think. Do a search at RC you might find some info on RBTA and CB.
Get some peppermint shrimp they will do in the apitasia and will probably leave the Tulip alone.
Wakey has been a little shakey of late. Our bats will pull us through.
We used to have a copper band in our RBTA tank no problems. Unless your a feather duster or and aptasia then you have big problems! They are so cool to watch!
Hey Marc - I have a bunch of small featherduster hitchhikers - don't care about them so much. I have one very large featherduster that I purchased, but I would be willing to sacrifice him for a beautiful fish and no aiptasia!!
At one time I had a feather duster out break ....it was really bad. The CBB took care of them. Just be very particular where you get him from make sure he's net caught, this fish is very often cyanide collected. You will pay almost 2X for a true net caught but the fish will have a much better chance at survival.
I know about the feeding thing and CBBs, have talked to a few knowlegeable BRS folks who have had good experiences. Hopefully, I'll be as lucky. I've been looking for a great "show case" fish for my last addition...I think the CBB will be it. F##%%k the featherdusters!!
Marvin - we have to stop meeting like this! Bases loaded, no outs....
Those tulip anemones can move pretty fast. In 24 hours I had mine move from the top to the bottom of a 65 gallon tank. Since they are colorful you will probably see it again.
