Anemone Question

[ZANYMASTER]

Just got a RBTA yesterday and put it in a area where it would sting anything except my hand(lol).It moved a bit and surrounded itself around a Xenia stalk.Any chance it'll kill it?

 

[Dre]

Yes!

 

[MIKE NY]

thats why I don't have anything in my tank that can move around by itself and sting....LOL

 

[DA fisherman]

Yep...my GBTA Just wedged itself between a rock and my "Green Jean Zoas :-(

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Here is the thing,The Xenia is still alive.

Were you hoping it would kill the Xenia? lol

Is it just the fleshy side of the anemone touching the xenia? Doubt it will kill it unless the tentacles touch the xenia.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

I got it for free and if it's one that it does kill,I won't pout Kat.Terrible right?lol

My anemones use to touch my hands all the time until one day after feeding i got stung all over my hands very badly.

DA, your zoas might be okay. I've found that my zoas didn't really get bothered when my nem started to wander after I changed the flow in my tank. But it has a strong enough stickiness that it may pull them off the rock, then you'll lose them.

Nah Nelson, you would be far from the first reefer happy to see their Xenia 'go away'. For me it's a Kenya Tree that grows in the back corner of my 120 that I can't reach...ahhh, the weeds of the coral world! lol

I had zoas that were being stung by an adjacent anemone. They were closed all the while, almost looking like bumps on the rock. What made me realize they were alive was that the bumps were reproducing. They looked burnt and never opened up but I was starting to see more of them. After many weeks when I moved the anemone they started opening up again and regained their color. Perhaps they were just tough lol.
