Might try another Anenome

Well this would be my second attempt at one of these guys. Probably will do a Rose BTA. The only problem is last time I tried one, it moved over night under my LiveRock and just stayed under there and died. I am running a Nova T5 54watt x 6 fixture. Soon to have two ATI blue plus, GE 6500k, UVL White Actinic, and two ATI AquaBlues. Is this lighting sufficient for a BTA? Also what do you guys feed your Nems? I was feeding small pieces of silversides and krill. He was doing great for about a month and then just booked it under the rock work, very odd. :-/

 

I kept a rose BTA under 4 t5s for about 5-6 months, and it was doing well although the colors were not a vibrant. so with 6 you should be fine, assuming you don't have some mammoth of a tank.

i fed mine small bits of silverside, every other week

 

Yeah its an 80 gallon tank.

 

I have a BTA in a 29g biocube that hangs upside down from under a rock. It stretches to the max around to the top of the rock. I feed it once a week rather shrimp or silversides. If you look in the pic you can see the stock of the BTA stretched against the rock.

 

Very nice looking BTA, i'm hoping if I get one he doesn't run a marathon around my tank stinging all my other coral
