RBTA question

[Reef lover24]

I purchased a RBTA that came on a rock and as soon as it was in my tank it decided to explore... Problem is it attached to the back of a rock and you can barely see it. I want it so be seen. I have a lot of water flow in my tank which is why I feel like he moved.. Can this be why? Also should I move him? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Leave it alone. It will move to where it's happy regardless of what you do. The less you stress it the better!

I know man.. Its just where it cant be seen really and I want it to be seen lol.. it sucks.

give it time but they are going to go where they feel comfortable. Your lucky if it stays in one spot. If they keep moving they are not happy.

Well I have had him for about 3 days now and he hasent moved.. Hes been in that spot.. Only problem is hes kind of hidden and I don't think any of my clowns will host him where he is. I figured he moved because he was not happy with the current and water flow due to my wp powerheads. I want him to be seen is the problem.

Give it time, its healthy so be happy.

I never seen something like this before.. The anemone climbed up the side of my tank and has been chilling on the glass. Is this normal?

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

What size tank and what type of flow

 

[Reef lover24]

57 g and a lot of flow. jeabo powerheads wp25s I think

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

Might be too much flow. Did it move to a location that was slower flow

 

[Reef lover24]

Its sitting on the glass.. Actually moved directly into the flow. Ive tried positioning the powerheads around it but it does not seem to work. This is the first time its really moved since I got it but I found it weird it would climb the glass that was a little odd to me. I don't want to move it either

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

Keep an eye out it doesn't walk into the pumps. You can try and move it to a place in your tank where it can dig it's foot into the rock work

 

[Reef lover24]

Its not by the pump thank god... Hes opened up to which I don't understand either lol. He came on a rock then he moved up the glass. If he don't move on his own ill move him. Think im going to let him be for now. I appreciate the help man, really do.

No problem

Anytime.

Is there area where your RBTA moved to shaded?

 

[Reef lover24]

It is not in a shaded area it is right in the open lol. Thing is confusing me.

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

just watch where he goes and if he begins to wander move him to the rocks

 

[Reef lover24]

Hes still on the glass.. Ill monitor him today, if he don't move at all today, ill physically move him later. Just didn't want to take him off, especially since there is like no where to grab him lol.

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

slowly slid your finger on the edge of the foot it should start to lift a little keep pushing but be gentle and take it slow.

Once you get it off place him in area of the rock work where it can suck its foot inside the rock work.
