It is the wetside of an MP10 after ingesting an 8" RBTA. Here is the RBTA after extraction.

are you running carbon? if not you should

 

[soymilk]

you might want to consider foam covers...

Thats what I use now..... had one anemone get chopped up... so no more chances. I think they all have a death wish.

Yep, I am running carbon. My wife says the tank is all cloudy. My son did the extraction since I am at work.

This is the third RBTA That I have had get chewed up in les than a year. After these last two recover, I will sell them and be done with RBTA's. I need to stick with critters that stay put.

Yeah I don't like anemones with other corals. Most of the time they move regardless of how stable the tank is.

Robert, get the spongs that goes around the wet side of the pump especially if you have anemones or in my case small snails.

Do a water change ASAP also.

Fortunately my RBTAs dont move. The only time they did is when it split and the clone moved about a foot away.

That sucks! (pun intended).

Foam covers or no more nems. The only way to stop that from happening with btas.

I guessed what it was just by the first pic!!

I'm a man!

panty hose <cough>

No really, I'm a man. I just happen to use more panty hose than my wife between the pump heads and the brewing. They make great hop bags.

Grrrr. I'm feeling manly.

LOL! But seriously, panty hose rock in the fish world!

When I got home last night the anemone was as deflated as Rosanne Barr's blind date. The good news is that this morning it was half inflated so I think it's gnna make it. These RBTA's are pretty freakin' resilient. When it gets fully healed I will find it a new home. Here is a pic of what it once was under Royal Blue LED....

I would love to take it but i have lost two BTA's due to my lighting or Big Mama was to rough with it and it kept trying o get away from her and was always going underneaath the rocks...

Well, when I woke up on Saturday I found a white gelatinous blob where the RBTA was the night before. So I siphoned out the remains. I really thought that it would make it but it didn't.
