Was doing a water change this morning on my 29 biocube. As I was cleaning filter pad on back I notice something large was stuck to it. As I move up closer to me I notice its a rose bta. And im like what. How on earth did it get back there. Well I continue to look in the center and then bam I see another one. And im like what the heck is going on here. Still not sure what happened. Well I continue draining and then filling tank up again and put nems on other side and close top. Well one dropped down and sorta attached to rock the other just kept floating so I left that room. I cone back a few hours and what do I see. The nem is halfway crossing the grates on back of nano where it empties into back chambers. If I didnt see it I wouldn't believe it but I didnt realize they could fit into such tiny slits and completely go to other side. Has anyone ever come across this. I took pic of one in back chamber. I should have taken one of it halfway going thru slits. Im sure it will be on other side by time I get home.

Cool try to get a pick of that. Curious as to why they would travel there... maybe since everything drains there they get more opportunity to capture particulate matter?

Yeah . I dont understand. I thought they needed bright light to be happy. I have original rose in nano. Along with 3 green ones. Now have those 2 reds but they looked white with bright pink tips.

Here is the 2nd one. Not the one that was stuck to filter floss.

Very cool Omar.

I think we provide way more much light than the coral requires.

John, this biocube has one 34 watt pc light on it. The other went out or has loose connection. Also has some blue led strips. So they have been in here for about a year. Split several times as well.
