rbta

so i had bought a rbta anemone a month or two ago and he was fine for a bit, but latly his tentacles have been shrinking at first it was only a little section but not most of it is like this, hes under a 250 metal halide about a foot off the top of the tank and hes at the bottom on a rock, the tank is a 54 corner nitrates phosphates and all that are 0, there are no fish in it at the moment and not sense hes been in, just inverts and coral, any ideas.

how long has the tank been setup?

 

[hollywood11892]

About 5 months now

 

[NanoReefer]

do you ever feed it?

 

[hollywood11892]

bout every week to week and a half with mysis, cyclopeeze, or plankton mostly mysis

 

[Mandarin66]

Try feeding it a krill i think that has more meat

 

[hollywood11892]

ok so that should help the tentacles? and this isnt really important but how do i get it to bubble up

I'm not really sure that feeding is your problem. As far as them bubbling up, that may never happen. Not all BTAs actually have the "bubble tips."

+1 not all bubble tips are suppose to bubble up and no one knows why it bubble up :helm2:
