Anemone compatiblity, hosts and its care???

my nitrates are 10 and PO4 is 0, but not affecting my sps.... there is algae growing, so i have already called for urchins..... LMB eats nori??

 

I just got my third type of anenome 2 days ago!

I now have a M/M carpert
Green Bubble tip,
and now a RBTA, which I think might actually be a Watermelon BT!

I looked with a flashlight before sunup with my Iphone LED flashlight and,
My Black sebae clown is in the RBTA,
and my Oc. Clown is in the Green BT

I'll try and post pics, on a new thread

 

I have both peppermint shrimp and skunk cleaners in my 55g with 2 btas and the shrimp have never bothered them.

One of my BTAs even houses a porcelain crab.

 

So u got all these nems in 1 tank??

 

It is worth noting that in his signature it states his tank is 125 gallons, completely different ball game.

 

BTA is known to host porcelain crab and lot os LFS sold those crab as "anemone crab"
As far as for Shrimp, I understand the "personality" is different between each shrimp. I am only making comment on the most safe way of keeping a BTA as I have been keeping RBTA/GBTA even Green carpet for over 10 years. I have seem Shrimps steal food away from any anemone even green carpet and because of that action, the anemone start hiding as it thinks the environment is not good for them. The moment it runs under the rock and it would be all over, unless you are able to some how "lure" it back out.

 

so if the anemone goes under the rock, its a bad sign? it dies? iv never kept nems before......

 

Affirmative, and as Corrailline stated, I have a 125g

Here's a pic of the new RBTA, others in the DT vids!

nice, i read the post..... i liked the feeding idea.... also, is it compulsory for the tank to be old? im connecting a new tank to my current setup with a dead stone and dry dead sand.. ill just keep nems and transfer or add softies to this tank......

 

If nem start moving around in the tank, means it can't find the best spot that suitable for itself. Most of the time when nem moving around, it is either new to the tank or it is stressed.

Once it hide under the rock, especially BTA/RBTA, itwill slowly bleach out and maybe result in death due to not enough light/food. And when it start moing around, the worse thing u can possibly do is try to move it yourself as it won't help to settle it down but make it even more stressful.

That is why the benefit to have a already hosted BTA/RBTA with clowns are,
1) You know you are not wasting your time hope a random pair to host your nem;
2) It helps nem to settle in a new tank when it is already hosted clown fish.
