I will call you Rosey RBTA

Lots of nem threads why not add my own. Just got a nice little RBTA yesterday. It took me a long time to decide if I should try one amid all the warnings, but my curiosity got the better of me. Gorgeous coloration on this specimen, has some white stripes/markings. I lightly bastered some brine it seemed to take.

Attached itself to the front glass after moving off the rock I wanted it on, hopefully it won't find a friend in my powerhead

BTW is it ok to target feed nems frozen krill, the LFS didn't have silversides?

Here's Rosey "the walking disaster":

 

ohhhh....pretty! Got a thing for redheads, huh?

Let's hope she doesn't have a fiery temper!

Absolutely lovely - congrats. It will be fun to see more pics as she settles in!

 

Awesome! Very pretty specimen.

 

Great color! Karma and fingers crossed for you for taking the plunge

 

Wow very cool. Yes you can feed it krill or shrimp. Whatever it will eat. Doesn't have to be silversides.

 

Thx pg on the krill confirm. Thx everyone for the kind words, cross your fingers for me and say a prayer to King Poseidon that this nem behaves!

 

She is beautiful!! Congrats on finally going for it and best of luck! You better keep us updated

 

Thanks KC, I will

Thanks, yes I have this site bookmarked. The only thing I found a little odd was she mentioned using your fingernail to try and dislodge an RBTA's foot but didn't have anything on having gloves on for a sting? I thought I read that an RBTA can cause an allergic reaction in some if they are prone to it, am I right?
