    Here is our LTA after 2 months in the tank. It has nearly quadrupled in size...Our percs have finally found a home and are leaving our Toadstool alone 8)

    If I didn't like nano's and coral so much I'd do a bta in a nano again... With a couple clowns.. In a nano a bta can reak havoc.. It did in my 12 gal nano cube anyway...

    very nice pic.
    what and how often do you feed it for it to grow so fast?
    or do you just let the clown do all the work?

    I have been feeding it once a week, either a silverside or a few krill....

    I just lost my sebae yesterday. I could never get it to take food. I've tried krill and silversides at the behest of the LFS guy. The clownfish would always take the silverside away from the anemone!

    sorry to hear about your sebae...The LTA freely takes the silverside or krill, fortunately he is a fast mover and closes up almost immediately after taking the food.....
