| Tunicate  | RBTA questions? I was wondering i just recently got a clownfish and it has hosted with my RBTA, but the anemone is shrinking and acting strange is this a common thing when they first start pairing up?

| Do I look as lost as I am   | Re: RBTA questions? Not really. Doesn't sound overly promising. How long have you had the anemone? What size tank? How long has it been up and running? What are you using for light? What are your current water test results?

| Do I look as lost as I am | Re: RBTA questions? That's plenty of light. Maybe it's just still getting "acclimated" to your tank. It's possible the clown is too rough and it's just getting used to everything. Keep an eye on it and if it expels it's "innards" think about removing it from the tank. Also watch for continued loss of color.

| Elegance coral  | Re: RBTA questions? How big is the clown? How big is the anemone? The anemone should be a little bigger than the clown or it will close up and shrink and in most cases, die.
