Ur RBTA seems thinner but longer now though I still prefer the short fat round tip earlier on.

According to www.liveaquaria.com if the RBTA doesn't get sufficient light, its tentacles will lose its bubbly form... perhaps my T5 tubes are not providing enough firepower <_< But I do feed it with frozen mysis... so it shouldn't be starving :unsure:

hmm it shouldnt be starving but i think in the long run, it will lose its real intense colors.

and jervis, try asking those "glass carpenter" too. and make sure u get a reputable glass removal kit.

im not an expert in these for as far as i know but i did done a fair amount of research on it, alot of these type of scratch removing thingy are simply bs.

so spend more time looking for a good one and tell us the results!

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

manage to track back history and found one of the link that you might find it useful and most importantly "consoling"

and you will need alot of hardwork if u can feel the scratch marks with your finger nails.

check it out mate. http://www.bostonaquariumsociety.org/html/faqs/scratches.htm

If this behavior persisted, it will soon retract further and melt away. Try target feeding daily. Mysis might be too little unless urs is a small specimen.

Bad news... found the RBTA moved slightly this morning... it is not mounted up-side-down on the bottom of the ledge (instead of sitting on the ledge) :cry: Hopefully it will not bulldoze any further :erm:

Besides the durian-shaped Pipe Organ... I also "tabao" some Gonioporas :eyebrow:

Better dun go LFS during the Lunar New Year season... all turn out red <_<

This Red Goniopora is quite odd in shape... but the size is pretty large... I particularly like the glowing pink center :)

Also "tabao" this light purple Goniopora... the blue dot center is quite visible in real life :D

Quite like the way I put the 3 pieces of Gonioporas together... not taking up too much space :eyebrow: Can't wait to see the 3 colours merge together :D
