RTBA didn't like my tank...commited suicide by power jet...

[Mark...]

Well, its been an adventure since the swap...dipped all my new corals and got them in the display. The RTBA looked like he was going to settle in the middle of the tank. This am at 7:30 under minimal blues couldn't find him when my wife notices white stuff in the Jeabo 40. I kicked up the lights and found a small amount of flesh in tank. Removed the flesh. Checked the skimmer which was more than full. Changed the socks...

Tank is a little cloudy right now but everything seems ok, shrimp were partying all night it seems.

And to top off everything I threw the dirty sock in my laundry sink to soak and forgot I had it plugged until I heard a scream about a flood...

Wasn't too bad luckily...

Now on to a birthday party for my 3 year old grand son with a full house. Nice day for it! Have a great Sunday!

Mark...RIP RBTA...

Ouch! Sorry to hear.

I think there were a batch of kamikaze RBTAs floating around.

Sorry about that. My RBTA is doing its best to stay hidden. It is a real beauty I got from Pacific East Aquaculture.

Ugh. Sorry to hear that Mark. I feel bad now since you bought it from me.

You need to make sure they get a good attachment on the rocks before letting them be because they are light and the water current will float them right to the power head if you don't help them get their foot attached first.

I'm down to just a small baby one right now, but if it grows and splits at some point, I'll give you another one for free if you want. Let me know and if/when it splits I'll hold it for you.

That's an awesome gesture George, you are a class act!

Don't feel bad, its my bad. I thought he was happy in the middle of the tank. I was pretty tired and crashed early and never expected him to move much over night.

I have to say my Tunze skimmer went into overtime and really cleaned up the tank. Filled it twice in 48 hrs. And my algae got a little boost (color darkened some), but other wise things are normal.

To get my anemones to attach I turn the flow off for at least 1 hour and put them in a crevice in a low flow area, than I turn the flow on and let the anemone move around as much as he wants but they generally stay around area for the most part. Any time I put one in a higher flow area it doesn't attach with the exception of my sebae
