    BTA split

    I came home this morning to find my BTA had split. I'm just wondering how long I should wait to feed them and if there are any additives I can dose to make for healthy growth. Thanks!

    You'll need to wait until the mouth and gut are healed. usually a couple of weeks. There are no beneficial additives. Food and light are the best things you can give your anemone.

    In photobucket, just copy the text below the picture that starts with [img]. You can paste that text straight into your post.

    How long have you had the RBTA? It's looking a bit bleached.

    I've only had the anemone for a few months. When I got him, he had retracted all his tentacles. I gave him a little TLC and his tentacles came back about two weeks after I got him.

    I have another bubble tip that is cut off in the pic that bleached when I got my new lighting. It has been slowly pinking back up again.
