RIP RBTA....literally

Any idea what a RBTA sucked through a Dart pump sounds like? :'( Well the whole family does. Scared the bajeebeez out of my Blue Jaw. He leaped right out of the water. Thank goodness I have a canopy. Knew I should have changed those screens on the CL to something finer. My clowns are lost now.

Overdue water change no longer overdue. Its always something. ::)
 
Well I woke up this morning and low and behold the RBTA was out in front in full bloom. :) So at this point I have no idea what got sucked through the CL and no idea what the debris in the water was from. But all organisms are accounted for. At least the ones I know of.
 
LOL.

I had that my purple base get sucked into a koralia nano. Luckily i found it before it was made into soup. It started to decay so it got the boot.

Good luck and good luck finding out what went wrong.

Any chance that your BTA had split and it was a clone that got sucked in?
 
Whats strange is, earlier in the day I moved one of the Loclines for my CL because my Blue Jaw kept getting himself blasted against a rock. This Locline was just above the RBTA and I knew he was moving after that. He must have tucked himself between the two rocks that were right behind him. So I dont think he split that fast, but at this point I guess anything is possible.

I did find in all this that my large green toadstool has a new bud that is detaching on the far side. The stalk is completely detached and the head only connected at two points. So I propped a piece of rubble under the stalk to see if it will attach itself. I would have never seen this if all this hadn't occurred.
