where u bought it? how much?

[angmoh]

yep.. should be a rbta - rose/red bubble tip anemone.

Price is usually few times higher compared to green bta.

this specimen looks a bit bleached to me. try to feed them more often.

Looks like the one from ah beng.

[Boonboy]

Keith - I got it from CF at 1xblue & 1xred.

Angmoh - Color was nicer at the farm. Tried to target feed mysis but it did not eat. Was still moving when I took the picture.

Bombom - I still trying to figure out where is Ah Beng. It is at Pasir Ris but which one?

[smallbutmighty]

If u can find pet mover, facing the road pet mover is on the right ah beng is on the left. Ah beng is about 300m away from pet mover. Ah beng is together with another aunt store.

The main entrance leading to Ah Beng's store has an arowana figurine.. once u enter, 2nd row on your left.

[Boonboy]

I think I have been there to browse before but did not know that is "Ah Beng". When you enter I believe you see the display tank on your left and packing/cash counter on your right. Corals left, fishes right.

Yep thats correct

For ur rbta, prawns in small pieces would do. U can see the mouth of the rbta? No bigger than tht. But as its a new addition, let it settle down first. If it doesnt take food when u try like what u said, try again in a few days time.

Okay, will try to find salt water prawns in the market. Tried mysis just now. I think it is eating but my sixline is stealing from it. Any idea how to stop that sixline?

[evomclaren]

i got a similar one yesterday! Sui! I love it!

Heh, you got it the same day as me. Did you get it at the same place? Post a pic(if you like). Mine seems slightly bleached. Hoping it will eat and perk up soon.

[Boonboy]

Here's and update of mine.

[Boonboy]

The bubble tip suddenly close up so tight and spit some blackish thing out from it's mouth… Hope this is normal...

[Boonboy]

Yesterday when I was feed, I was surprised that my six line did not come out for food.

Guess where I found it...

[evomclaren]

My bubble tip killed my clownfish be careful

OMG… How did that happened???

So far my clownfish has no interest in the bubble tip...

[Boonboy]

Just to update, I have taken the advise to replace 2 skimmer with 1 bigger skimmer and removed the cannister filter.

Picture of my revamped sump.

Once your tank matures, u can remove ur canister. Use minimum filter as the rest will be pickup by ur skimmer. More live rocks will encourage more bacteria and hence filters will not be needed much. U can try place more liverocks in ur sump if possible. IMO.

[Boonboy]

Totally agree. Considering live rocks or coral chips... Any thoughts?

[Admiraltian]

Live rocks is better, coral chips tends to collect detritus in the long run & builds up nitrate.

[Boonboy]

Live Rock - first choice. I was also recommended "bacteria king". Anyone used it? Any impact if I add it to a running sump?

[Boonboy]

As per the great advise from fellow reefers... Rinsed and brushed with RO/DI water before adding to sump.
