Bubble Tip Anemone

[htfn]

I have got bubble tip anemone First time in my life yesterday. Soon as I introduced into my tank, my anem went to under the live rock and it stayed there. Should I remove anem from the shadow or dose it move by itself? Any idea? Thanks

Leave it alone, they will usually go where they want to...just make sure you dont have any powerheads or intakes to close, they have a habit of getting stuck in them, lost a rose bta just a few weeks ago....

+1 I have a RBTA and its gone around piece of the live rock in a complete circle. Don't try to move it physically, I have heard that if you injure its foot that most likely it will perish.

OK, I will leave it alone. And also what kind of clown goes into rbta. I am thinking to get a gold stripe maroon. is there anything peaceful clown for it?

Maroons can be quite agressive with the anemone. How big is the bubble tip and how big of a maroon are you getting? Percula and oscelaris are pretty good but not always a guarantee that they will host it.

My anem is about 2.5inch foot, not to big one, so I have to get small clown. I heard that maroon is really agressive, too but they are good with rbta.

skunk clowns are fairly non-aggressive and they host RBTA's, also I have found skunk clowns to host with anemones fairly quickly.

My ORA skunk clowns went immediately to my RBTA. My captive raised ocellaris wouldn't even look at it. And yes, maroons get very aggressive as they get bigger. It can be very hit and miss with clownfish accepting anemones sometimes just to give you a head's up, especially when they are not wild caught.

my two bubble tips tend to do whatever the hell they want, right now my smaller one decided to park its self right in my bright pink paly! bastard! my clowns love both of mine btw.

Both of my ORA ocellaris don't even notice that RBTA is there. They're hosting beside the wavebox!
