This thing, when it is full, takes up an entire corner of the tank. The tank is 48 x 24 x 24 so when it's fully open, it's almost 12" across. It really looks like it's going to split soon.

Looks like Raleej has a monster RBTA also.
There are some behemoths out there.

so guess who just joined the club?

thats right its, that is my new GBTA. She was more of a rescue. she is Kinda bleached out but im gonna bring her back to health. She was in his sump over one pc light because he is moving tanks and was given to me because he cant take care of her right now and she looks 1000 times better than she did when i got her already after 1 day! but she moved from the front to the back of the aquarium

hopefully as she gets more acclimated to the light she will more to the front more! Now how do I get my seal of membership?

Congrats anf good luck Kyle!

My parents and my in-laws were here today so I had to show off a bit.

I thawed out a silverside, reached into the tank and put the silverside in the flow so it got nudged into the anemone. It had barely touched it's tentacles when the monster jerked and immediately closed on the silverside. Everybody, including me, went WOW!!!

It must have been hungry!

Craig Manoukian · 12-09-2007, 11:45 PM

Any pictures Terry?

kathywithbirds · 12-10-2007, 02:36 AM

reminds me I gotta feed the bta and corals...

Mine is getting DARK. I thought it was a nice color but it keeps getting DARKER. Is that good? It's been moving alot, not away from its spot but waving itself around independently of the flow.

tbittner · 12-10-2007, 12:50 PM

When I feed it later this week, I'll try out the video mode on this new fangled camera I have. Speaking of feeding an anemone, I see a lot of posts where people grind up a silverside into mush to feed the anemone. I don't understand the purpose of this. In the wild, they catch and eat whole fish. I just thaw out a silverside in RO/DI water, rinse it with more RO/DI, then place it on it's tentacles. Five minutes later the anemone is fully back open and there isn't a trace of the silverside. I tried the same thing with a piece of krill and it displayed zero interest in it. In fact, one of my cleaner shrimp went into the anemone and grabbed the krill, took it up to a rock and ate it. Anemone also leaves the cleaners alone and they crawl all over it.

vdituri · 12-10-2007, 08:20 PM

I could understand the ground silverside if the anemone was weak or dying.
It might help it digest it easier.

My sebae will eat krill. Must just not be on the menu for RBTA's.

kathywithbirds · 12-10-2007, 08:50 PM

When the one I have was bleached and had zero response, I mushed up silverside and used a plastic syringe. It took forever to get it into its mouth. It gradually graduated to tiny pieces, now it gets a quarter of one and it's gone in seconds. Gotta start on bigger pieces and see what happens.

Craig Manoukian · 12-10-2007, 08:53 PM

Good info!
