RBTA

Here's one of Rich's famous rbta's, I picked up last week. For scale, the Blue Jaw is about 8 inches.

Is it in a high flow area? Mine use to look like that until it settled in a low flow area. Now it bubbles up nicely.

I guess it's a moderate flow. He's moved a couple of times so far, a total of maybe 8 inches across the rock.

From my experience RBTA like more pristine water, and GBTA like 'nastier' with nitriates, etc.
I have both.
Whenever my water quality improves RBTA comes up and spreads, and when Nitrates up, RBTA shrinks, and GBTA 'rules'.
That is unfortunate, as rarely I can see both. And my clown pair switches from one to another.

ShulZer I don't think your bta,s like each other. They both are able to adapt to the same conditions. Bubble tips in general are more able to deal with less the
perfect conditions and most are usually found in higher nutrient water except for magnifica anemones.

How big of a tank do you have? Remember there is only one perfect spot for an anemone in a tank. Once one find its when you add another they want it.
