    I went out on a limb about 2 weeks ago purchased a RBTA as my tank just turned one year old. It is a pretty good size..about 6-7 inches when open. It has for the most part stayed in one spot and stays open all the time EXCEPT for from 10:30-11:30 a.m. At 10:30 on the dot every single morning it closes up and poops. You could seriously set your watch by it. I haven't directly fed it, but it gets quite a few brine shrimp during regular feedings. It appears very healthy (good dark color, fairly "bubbly"). None of my params are out of whack. Is this normal for some anemones? I have done a few searches and found nothing mentioning this as a daily occurrence.

    Thanks!

    Hmm..Maybe nem stomachs and brine shrimp don't agree. As long as he perks back up every time I'm fine with it. Thanks Terry!
