    Still hanging in there! Looking slightly better, some bubble back in the tips.

    Still keeping fingers crossed. My RBTA is still doing just fine, as is my Maxi-mini carpet.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Well that is good Todd.

    Since all else is doing really well I doubt anything you're doing or not doing is causing this one Anemone to act and look different. We can't save them all, but your giving it a hell of a chance.

    Thanks Cheryl,

    I'm doing all I can! My newest corals I got last week are doing well also.
    One of which is a rainbow Poci. I went out of town for 3 days, and I'm seeing great PE now! I hope it's not tryin to tell me to get lost! LOL

    Thanks OFK!

    I need to contact a local reefer (that I've not met) and pick up a RBTA. He evidently has several in his tanks and he gets you which one that can be the most easily removed at that time. He then sells them for $40! I've just been too lazy and a little shy (which I am by nature) to call and go get it. Someone needs to tell me to get on this yesterday!

    Sorry Todd to steal your thread for a totally random post :)

    Well,
    For about a week now, he's been gone ;-(

    I don't think it moved, it just shriveled up the rest of the way, maybe something at what was left.

    At least my RBTA, and M-M Carpet Anen. is doing well.

    Sorry todd. Sometimes even in the best tanks we lose livestock. You did your best to help it thrive and that's what makes you a true reefer in my book.
