RBTA progress??

[chasesng]

Got this coral just over a week ago. Am told its a RBTA. It got pushed by flow to the back of the tank and has stayed there the whole time. Here are three pics from when blue light first came on til later in day with full lighting.

Does this look normal?

Is this really a RBTA?

Thanks

looks like an RBTA to me. they'll move to where ever they feel most comfortable. the 3rd pic happened to mine before too, caused by the flow. other than that, everything looks normal.

rbta and looks great. Why did you buy if you don't know what it is?

That looks like a baby RBTA, mine was the same way now its huge. good luck, beautiful rbta.

Its an RBTA. Make sure you have proper lighting & keep away from powerheads.

I was told he was an RBTA. That it had recently split. I've been reading up on them and my visual expectation was premised largely on what i've seen in stock photos. I've been concerned that the flow was too strong for him but he hasnt moved. He just sits in his original spot. Not doing anything. Just like my wife.

That looks nice... congrats on the purchase... they will move around till they feel comfortable in a location. Depending on the nem... they can either be killers when it comes to touching other corals... or they can be harmless to them.

Thats a good sign on both the wify and rbta not moving.

Looks normal to me too. Just leave it be, it'll look like those stock photos soon enough

When it gets to a place you like start feeding it and hopefully it will decide to stay there.
Mine hasn't moved in a couple years but it really extends and takes up a lot of space.
