Rose Anemone

[Hazmat]

This is awsome...... I bought a Rose Anemone today and when i got home and took it out of the bag it split in two in my hand Now I have two for 2/3 the price of one (I got a good discount) They look so cool.

I'll post a pic from my web cam tonight in my tank setup thread

The price of rose BTAs is falling through the floor. They can be found for under $50 with patience. All the splitting...

Hazmat, I turned down a trade for a BTA after agreeing to it out of fear for my SPS. Do you keep SPS? Are you worried about it travelling and killing as it does? Also, what have you done to protect it against your powerheads???

Curious, didn't see in the thread, what skimmer are you running?

Okay I am new *again* to marine fish, and totally new to corals, trying to learn all I can...........what is all of this SPS stuff and traveling and killing?

I don't keep SPS.... I'm still stocking the tank right now, well as much as my bank account will let me I ordered a screen for my powerheads don't have them yet but I'm not too worried about it. My skimmer is a Top Fathom TF100A

Small polyp stony coral (SPS)
Bubble Tip Anemone (BTA)

What ostrow mentiond was BTA's move around, BTA's and coral do sting and could kill. Hope that helps you understand.

Will BTAs kill soft corals (like xenia)? I heard that they would leave soft corals (which have no defenses of their own) alone.

Was I told the wrong thing?

 

[Hazmat]

I think it will be fine....
At my LFS they have a huge BTA in a tank full of soft coral's and they are doing great.
It also looks awesome

BTA's will normally be ok with softies. well with xenia/star polyps, its hard to kill the stuff. a friend of mine had some and had to take the rock out and use a power drill with one of the wire attachment thingy's to get rid. (obviously if you starve it of light it will die also)

BTW- I have loads of SPS corals as well as a couple of softies and LPS (large polyped stoneys) and I just couldn't be bothered with an anenomy for the reasons ostrow said although may consider it in the near future.
