Default RBTA isolation

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!

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.
