I think that Nexus burst BTA is just absolutely eye-catching! I currently have a Black Widow in my nano system for almost a year now and has been growing relatively fast. Gotta love anemones!
These all look like variations of the colonial type of bubble tip anemones which stay small and split regularly. Which varieties are the solitary type which don't split as often and instead grow larger? Great video by the way
Now’s a great time to do it! Have some great deals on them on the site! I love the two in my desk tank the green streaking in the tentacles is wicked! -Blaine
My bubble tip anemone has shriveled up. Its tentacles are super small and shrunken. It was fine for the first few weeks, but recently it moved and just started doing it. I also have a condy anemone and that one moved when the bubble tip got too close. Is there anything I can do to help it?
Just let it be it will come too once water parameters are right where they want it. Also flow rate will cause it but it should go to a place it wants and open up over time. Also can try to spot feed a d see how it reacts.
Awesome video as usual, I just dont see how a bta can withstand 300 par, is that the same with aquaculture specimens or just like you said when you get them from the ocean?
You can have problems if you dont use rodi water or ocean water, especially because tap water changes throughout the year (more nitrates/copper/undesireables) - which could lead to an unstable tank or even crash it!
A fairly normal thing for them to do! If it continues to twist up and holds them, it might become a problem, but I would say if it just has a twist or two in it I wouldn't worry too much! -Blaine
Hey Peter! We currently do not have any mixed in the farm facility as I mentioned, but let me ask some of our local customers and see if they’ve got any mixed! I’ll ask around others too and see what Kevin has to say! Thanks for checking this one out! -Blaine
Just out of curiosity. I attempted to keep 5 green bubble tip anemones on separate occasions and I’ve checked off every care tip known with all of them dying. 3 local fish stores stated Green BTA allegedly are the worst to keep alive and don’t last. Not sure if this is true because I love the color green and haven’t tried any other color. Is there some kind of truth to this or reason they aren’t in this video?
these things are dangerous for a mixed reef right? they move around stinging any coral it comes in contact with possibly killing them, or is that a different type of anemone?
That is these guys. I have two in my mixed reef 20g. I don’t recommend it unless you have the time to get your eye one it every morning and night. Move coral out of its way if it decides to move
One thing you forgot that is really important when owning a BTA, or almost any anemone. ALWAYS USE A FILTER SOCK OR PUMP COVER! IF YOU DONT, YOU RUN THE RISK OF IT CLIMBING ON IT AND GETTING SHREDDED. NO BUENO AT ALL I PROMISE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE AT WORK AND DON'T CATCH IT IN TIME.
Sorry for spoiling the party, but normally in the wild ocellaris and perculas aren’t naturally found inside BTAs, rather they are usually found inside Stichodactyla carpets, long tentacle anemones and a few others
Yep, I second this. Maroon clowns are the ones I usually see living with bta. Sometimes really large tomatos like maroon colored ones. I noticed that they have their preference. While clarkies and skunks like those long white nems. But to be fair, I heard that those brown carpet nems are hard to keep so, yeah. Plus, their clowns are pretty much captive bred, I guess they'll host what is provided in the tank.
After ten years i wont allow them to get bigger than a small fist if you do you run the risk of exploding in the wavemaker, happens about once a year if you have 5 or more, caution these are tank killers, catching it quick with a 50% water change will resolve it but if your not home say goodbye to everything
Please don’t promote mixing different types of anemones. Most of the hobbyists don’t have 1000 gallons systems or large UV sterilizers. The rest of the video is great though! 👍✌️Love the channel and the Anemones! 💪🪸
We have some mixed together in our retail store with no issues, and I know others that have as well. It is important to run carbon though during that timeframe! Appreciate you checking out the channel! -Blaine
@ Thanks for the quick response. In my experience carbon doesn’t help at all. I would love to learn the trick of mixing anemones without any consequences. Feel free to send me pics and more info on those tanks on my social media pages. Would love to have a longer conversation about it! ✌️
love your voice love your brain love learning from you, thanks Blaine!!
I really appreciate this comment!! 🩵 thanks for tuning in to the channel!

Hi! What DIP can I use for anemones?
Saving up to get me a Chicago sunburst anemone ... I love the color & some if the changes it go through
Now’s a great time to do it! Have some great deals on them on the site! I love the two in my desk tank the green streaking in the tentacles is wicked!

@@TopShelfAquatics interested in getting me one too are they hard to keep?
I love this video. More about animals please!
Thank you Matthew!!!!! Will do! Any suggestions let me know!

I wish I didn't already have an anemome. That nexus burst is crazy. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I had room
There’s always the chance to set up another tank… LOL! It is a stunner I promise!

Let me know when you have a Nexus Burst Bubble Tip available. Thx

We see that our BTA love getting juiced with a bunch of light! Especially our Chicago's and Colorado's!

1:44-1:56 shows the Anemone pedal disc and foot, it looks marbled--is that a Colorado Sunburst?
That is a black widow, the marbling you will be looking for on the CSB foot is going to be a pink with a reddish marbling tone to it!
-Blaine
Bubble tips be put in a fish only tank. am useing tap water with prime. thx you
You can have problems if you dont use rodi water or ocean water, especially because tap water changes throughout the year (more nitrates/copper/undesireables) - which could lead to an unstable tank or even crash it!
I have a Colorado in my tank that is twisting above the foot daily. Any idea why or any tips ?
A fairly normal thing for them to do! If it continues to twist up and holds them, it might become a problem, but I would say if it just has a twist or two in it I wouldn't worry too much!
-Blaine
Do you have any Colorado and Chicago Sunburst nems mixed with any other nems in the same tank?

I have 1 tank and have RBTA’s that keep on splitting and theyre all good… but why cant my colorado grow and always shrivelled?
Can someone tell me how does he have 2 clips spinning on that algae holder?
What causes them to lose their bubbles? Could it be Par or feeding related?
Would be a fun video to focus strictly on this! I heard from my boss that he swears it’s all about flow!
-Blaine
Water parameters and flow
on my way to top shelf 🏃♀️💨
Love that! Always good time to snag some nems!

I would love one but I worry about them walking around and splitting and ending up with a tank full

@@Dave_Andre agreed, but please note, fish do not host anemones, the anemones themselves are hosts.
Right
Will clown fish bread with anemones in the tank
They absolutely will once they are at breeding maturity!

i have never fed my btas and only feed light. when i say never I'm not counting the times i was bored
After ten years i wont allow them to get bigger than a small fist if you do you run the risk of exploding in the wavemaker, happens about once a year if you have 5 or more, caution these are tank killers, catching it quick with a 50% water change will resolve it but if your not home say goodbye to everything

Too hot to handle!
-Blaine
Why pronouncing this like "aneNomy" (like "an enemy") when it is written aneMony ("a Nemo knee") ?
Quite irritating right? Lol
Glad I'm not the only one bothered by the fish salesman who can't pronounce anemone.
I’m sure if you had to say it 20+ times you’d get it wrong Atleast once too, why come here to hate and not learn.
Great video! But pronunciation brother, a-nem-o-ne, not a-nen-o-me!
Probably slipped up my pronunciation once on it, but much appreciated! Thanks for tuning in!

🙄🤦♀ @txreef
Prefer calling them, "an enemy". 😅
