what do you mean by offed? tail chasing? :

what are your plans for it after putting in sump lol

your rbta's like mine now, hiding from the halides! has yours changed position?

 

Offed as in killed.

I will probably try to trade her off, or maybe set up a separate tank for her.

My RBTA isn't really hiding from the halides. I had the same lighting on the 90g. The way the rbta went was to get out of the flow a little. I t has moved a little bit, just to keep the flow off of it, and then it split.

 

wow how long did that take? was the maroon much larger than the occelaris? hmmm how often do you spot feed your RBTA? must be cool to have it splitting

 

The maroon was buddies with the old Ocellaris that I had in the 90g. She would never hassle that little clown after the initial tank hazing months ago.

Once the new ocellaris was starting to pair with my old ocellaris, she got jealous, and started chasing the new clown. That new clown was a nice looking ORA mis bar, and was eating from day one, and pairing with my original ocellaris.
The marooon is a good 5" long, the ocellaris was what, an inch and a half?
I almost tried to catch the maroon last night. I will probably try tonight and get her in the sump.

I really like the maroon, but if I keep her, she needs her own tank, with an anemone.

I can drill my 20L and get her in there eventually.

I feed my nems once a week, a half a silversides, and actually fed the RBTA the chromis that did not make the tank transfer. I saw it dead a week ago or so, and I immediately fed the chromis to the rbta. a week later and it splits. LOL

 

I took a few pics tonight. My RBTA split, the clone is above the parent. I tried to apply the tricks to taking pictures that a professional photographer of corals and fish gave to our local reef club. I need a new battery for my remote for the camera, that will help.

Oh well, I hope you enjoy them.

 

looking good
is the last pic your RBTA?

 

RBTA's. It split and you can barely see that the upper part is another anemone, the clone. Picture 6 shows the clone a little better as a separate Anemone.

 

oh wow nice

 

Beautiful!! Am I seeing coralline growth already in the pics where I can see the sides?

 

No, that is not quite yet coralline, that is a scum line I guess from the sand dust that came up when I filled the tank See the gradually increasing "level" lines?

I did use Kent's Purple Tech as I had bottle and needed to raise my alk and ca since I did not have the calcium reactor hooked up for about 2 weeks. So I accomplished a few things just by adding the purple tech. I will test my levels again today, and re dose jsut CA or buffer if I need to.
