    I've had a RBTA for almost 2 wks now in my 40 gallon. I had someone offer it to me for 20 bucks, and I couldn't resist. My tanks a few wks over 4 months old. I put it in the tank, and it moved around for a few days.. It went totally around all the frags I have, never disturbing any of them (and I have quite a few that it dodged around). Maybe I'm just lucky. It's been in the same spot for almost a week now and is doing well. Just fed it for the first time a couple days ago. My occellaris clowns haven't taken a liking to it yet though. They're the only 2 fish in their besides a YWG. So I'm thinking it might take a liking to it once there's other fish competing for territory. If not, then I'm going to take the nem out and place them in a bucket with the 2 clowns for a few hrs. My brother did that with his, and they've been attached ever since. Just thought I'd drop a little knowledge on ya on my experience thus far..

    Nahh. Its an ocellaris. If you put them in a bucket together for awhile, they'll pair up. It's what he did after reading a thread about it on some site. They've hosted it ever since.
