Maroon clown and RBTA!!

Actually I have 3, I initially had a very small RBTA, it split after like 20 days and became that monstrosity in the pic . Then I found that GBTA later on and added it. My clowns never looked at the RBTA & I've had 5 different clowns ones in my tank (at different times). A day after I got that GBTA, everything changed. I think nems of the same species is fine to keep together, just don't mix species maybe, I could be wrong though. I like having the red/green mix, it's like christmas!

 

haha I'll likely pick up a GBTA eventually. When you got your RBTA and it split was it already pretty big? Hoping one day mine will split.

 

honestly it was the size of a half dollar when I got it. I put it in my tank & it climbed up to the rock that it's pictured on (thankfully that rock was void of any corals near it). It footed in a crevice and I target fed it a piece of raw shrimp or krill every 3 days or so. I had PC lighting so it was most likely a little light starved. It grew extremely fast, (like to the size of a baseball) then split, and these two are getting big, about the size of a softball.

Splitting can be viewed as good or bad. Some say they split if they're overfed, some say they split for survival, some say they split because they're happy. I think I overfed mine just a tad that's why it split. I have since fed much smaller little pieces every 3 days and they're growing at a manageable rate.

 

That's awesome. Thanks for the info!

 

If I were you, given your success with anemones, I would keep feeding the bejesus out of them and sell any clones past your 2. I like the idea of less anemones being caught from the wild, and that would surely increase the number of captive-raised anemones around your area.
