SRC Member solasido Posted January 22, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 22, 2014 The bubble tip shape is not constant actually. At night it will look line tentacles. when there is light, depending on the situation (want to reach out to food, want to have more exposure area to light, sensing danger, limitation of space, fighting for space with other corals, etc), expand the body, bubble up the tip, getting the tentacles and bubble long. So, even when it looks "nice" at LFS with round bubbles, the shape is not permanent. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohanson Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I would say bright lights with medium to high flow. Mine will usually show all its bubble in the day and once the lights are out, it will hide in the rocks. It does that everyday and it readily accepts frozen mysis and brine shrimp. My RBTA took at around 2 weeks to start accepting the frozen food.

Jenaellyn Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 My clownfish is always tossing out the food of my anaemone. He'll take a nibble and fling it out of the bta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sani Boyan Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My clownfish is always tossing out the food of my anaemone. He'll take a nibble and fling it out of the bta. Mine too, sometimes. Normally my flame angel will steal the food from my BTA. So me become security guard when feeding the BTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tofubox Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I read from an article somewhere. From my understanding, no scientist actually knows what affects the anemone exhibitng its nice looking bubble tips. Its more of a personal characteristic. Some will do it, some wont, personally i always seen bubbles looking better when they are small, i.e younger. as they grow older they start to form their own personal shapes. some long, some nice n bubbly. I may be wrong, since it was an article on reefing that i stumbled across, but thought i share with everyone Quote I Love Stagsss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
