Clown hosting RBTA

[jcs11236]

So my clown finally decided to leave the rics and clam alone and has decided to dive into the rbta. He looks like he is loving it but the rbta doesnt. lol. is this normal? the bt is somewhat closed since he is rubbing all in there. will the bt open up once he gets used to the clown?

 

[jcs11236]

my clown is totally laying inside the bt. the bt lost all his bubble tips!?

It should be ok man. The anemone's inflate and deflate on a regular basis. How long have you had the rbta? If it has been in your tank for a while and healthy, you have nothing to worry about.

How big is the bta and the clown? If the clown is too big for the nem it might hurt it

the bta is around 4" its a lil bigger than the clown. but it shrunk a lil after the clown dived in! hopefully it will be okay. the clown did not sleep in the bt. it slept in its normal spot.

okay cool.. thanks for the replies everyone

so my clown has officially moved into the bta. he slept in it for the first time last night. he hasnt left the bta all day and night. literally! jus came out to eat. is this normal? i never had a anemone before. my clown has been with me for over 6 years and never seen him act like this. lol does your nem/ clown act like this as well? it seems like he spent the whole night wiggling in the nem

That's great man. Yes that's completely normal. He will hang around the nem all day, run into it I he is scared, sleep in it, maybe even take food to it.
It one of the symbiosis that I like the most.

its so cool man! i love it but i was a lil worried when i didnt see him go up to his normal sleeping spot! lol
hope all is okay with you bro. we lucky we didnt lose no power. remember if you ever need anything. come by my house- we live right across the street
i had another MR member come by my house yesterday and he was asking me who lives in that corner house because he sees ur tank light on at night. lol

 

[irvp13]

Likewise man. It was really good that we dint loose power. Also if you want to stop by and check out the tank you're always welcome. Yeah there are a couple of mr members in the area, we could get some meet and greets going!
