Hi fellow,
I am wondering if I am the only one who try to isolate rbta on the sand(attached to a rock off course) he is only 2" feed him 1 mysis everyday. And he has been on the sand bed for 3 weeks seems happy. Please let me know if you think I am doing something wrong. I have a pair of clowns but they are hosting frogspawn instead. The only problem is that my bsjf is spitting sand once in a while.

I think your rbta is too small for those clowns to host, that's why they go for the frogspawn. More real estate! :surprise:

Yes. Mines on my sand bed as well for well over a year.

If he doesn't like it there he'll move trust me on that!
I have a large hand sized long tube bubble anemonie on a 4-6 lb rock I'm selling for $50 that would be more the size you need.

Put a chunk of rock under that rbta so he can foot himself....

Sand and nems aren't the best combo....

It's happy cause it's bubbling up nice.

Trust me, make sure there's a chunk of rock under it, they don't foot sand, if anything it's footed itself to the bottem of the tank....

OP stated it was footed on a piece of rock. It should be good there

Thanks for the inputs. Yes I do have a rock underneath for him. I do want it to stay bubbly like that.
