Eh I want to ask something first. BTA = Bubble ###### Anemone is it? haha!

Anyway i have 2 anemones in my tank. The one you see I dont know whats the name but my anemone crab lives inside. The other is a BTA. Now here comes the complication...

When i bought the bta, it looked very nice. the ###### very round and bubbly. I have a maroon clown in my tank which i transfereed from the tank and quarantined in my sump 2 days before i bought this bta, so that the clown wont karchow the anemone when its trying to stick onto the rock where i position it at.

After I put the bta in my tank, it stayed at the positon i placed it at and adhered itself immediately. Seems like a good start, then when it opened up, the ###### not as round as before already. Then after a day i introduced my maroon clown in, the maroon clown took to it immediately, and from then on, bta no longer have bubble ###### anymore. all the ###### like shribbled up and just waving around like tentacles.

Is there a particular water parameter that causes this to happen? I tested for pH, dKh, Salinity, NO2, NO3, NH3/4 everything ok. somebody can tell me why its like that?

:lol::lol: not sure if anyone seen or heard about this... my nemo likes to suckle on at my bubble coral. Right after that he can't close his mouth for a few hours. And last night I saw him doing the same to my hammer! Don't understand why... :huh:

Both corals still ok.

Is yours doing the same thing to your BTA?

:unsure::rolleyes::lol:

:o Wah all these ###### for TATS !!! :D:lol:

I used to have an exotic fijian BTA...big rounded ######...oops TIPS! :D ...hand-fed...grew & flourished...with my resident Clark Clownfish. Until one day it decided to move to a very secluded dimly-lit corner (don't know why ???) where my hand can't reach to feed it... :unsure::( Slowly it shrunk, withered & melted away... :shock::cry:

Now ANEMONES...NO MORE for me ! ;)

My big green BTA when first arrived, had cup C ######. Then after some time, they became cup A. So sad...

I thought about it... Maybe my light is not enough? Maybe because I haven't feed it at all?

Ok I added more light and started feeding it some chopped prawns. The next day, it became cup C. ;)

But because of my increased feeding, and my tank is not fitted with a proper skimmer, after 2 weeks the anemone started shrinking. Then, it moved a bit, and then it puked and oozed disgusting stuff. Lastly, it dislodged itself from the rock and look dead. :( It died most likely because my nitrate level was dangerously high, at around 80 ppm.

The anemone is a "big" addition to your tank's waste producers. Hope that you have factored in the waste that it would contribute to your tank. The amount of biological waste produced by my previous anemone was similar to the amount produced by 4 large clown fish.

well...if it's at the shop....mabbe it's new stock? unless it's been there for weeks/months? Coz logically speaking even if it retains its bubble tip even after a few weeks then it loses the bubble tips after u bring it back...i guess it might be your tank after all, either not enough current/light or water parameters abit off.

The disgusting stuff oozed out was undigested food items. The anemone probably exhausted itself trying to digest the food and this led to its ultimate demise as it was unable to regain the energy lost through digestion from photosynthesis alone. Bubble-tips need very very small meals as they might waste energy trying to digest oversized or over frequent meals. The key is to feed wisely. Even in the wild for a decent sized anemone, it might take a week or more to fully digest half a market prawn and regain the energy lost through digestion. :peace:

oh shit! i just fed it so much blood worms! anyway it was a really perculiar thing today i observed during feeding. Usually when i feed the anemone, the resident clown will pek at the food in the anemone. today however, when i fed, the clown took the blood worms, instead of eating it, brought it back to feed the anemone. first time ever i observe such a thing. So i guess the anemone probably secrets some kinda chemical telling the clown its really hungry so please feed it. haha! I thought it was pretty sweet of the clown fish. Was thinking of feeding prawn cubes this weekend.

Hey fuel you sound like a real expert. how to make the ###### round?

Not exactly expert. I myself have given up on anemones. Considering their lifespan of several decades in the wild I would rather leave them to the oceans. Don't think bloodworms is a good choice. Marine fish need marine food. You can always blend your own mix using prawns, squid, mussels, etc. As for the behavior its rather normal especially if the clownfish is full. The clownfish might just be using its anemone as a "fridge" to store his food without knowing the anemone will eat it? Or maybe like you said it is feeding the anemone knowingly. I'm not sure. :paiseh:

It is true but never seen my clown doing it though. Normally the silly clown will dash for the food, and then dash back to the anemone and eat the feed there. I would presume that some food with be left for the anemone....

My clown has mood swings. :lol: sometimes it brings back food to my BTA. And at times it tries to snatch away the prawn that I feed my anemone. :rolleyes:

      WIZARD WEB RECOVERY - BITCOIN & CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY EXPERT

      The sinking sensation that gripped my stomach, when I logged into my cryptocurrency account and saw my bitcoin balance of USD 680,000.00 had vanished was one I'll never forget. The despair and panic set in instantly. All those years of investing and saving are just gone in an instant. I felt numb trying to process what had happened. Someone had hacked my account, drained my funds, and disappeared without a trace. After the initial shock wore off, I shifted into problem-solving mode. I wasn't going to let some thief steal my hard-earned money and get away with it. I started scouring cryptocurrency forums and came across mentions of Wizard Web Recovery, a service that specializes in tracking stolen digital assets and helping victims recover their funds. I reached out and explained my situation. The analysts at Wizard Web Recovery sprang into action, utilizing their network of contacts and sophisticated tracking software to follow the trail of my stolen Bitcoin. It was a complex process, involving tracing the hacker's digital footprint across the blockchain, analyzing transaction patterns, and setting traps to ultimately identify the thief. Against all odds, Wizard Web Recovery was able to pinpoint the hacker and work with law enforcement to secure the return of my stolen Bitcoin. The feeling when I saw my account balance restored was sheer elation. I couldn't believe the experts at Wizard Web Recovery were able to pull off this digital sleuthing miracle. Thanks to their tireless efforts, the last sausage of my hard-earned cash was returned to me. I learned from the entire process how crucial it is to keep your account secure and how valuable it is to rely on experts like Wizard Web Recovery in case the unthinkable occurs. Masters of recovery of lost, hacked, or stolen cryptocurrency.
