rbta split!! - Reef-Geeks

msbeanctr · Reef-Geek

IT SPLIT!!! IT SPLIT!!!

I've had this rbta for over 4 years and it's grown well and has always looked very healthy. I had to move his rock (that he's attached to) last night to get a mondo bristleworm......the anemone looked very healthy as usual. When I checked the tank this morning everything was doing great.....I came home from work and noticed that the rbta had split right in half! Both halves look healthy - no shriveling or anything.

How long will it take to heal? Do I need to do anything?

I'll post pics later this evening.

I'm excited! Woot!!

mine split about 3 months ago. it's fine, natural, asexual, nothing needs to heal, and all is good. do nothing special.

Kerickson978 · Whats up?

Rock on! congratulations on the split, thats always exciting

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Right on Carol, did it split in half or in three? This is normal, lol I actually just cut one of mine in half with a knife. Just move along with it as if nothing happened.

Hows the pump working out?

msbeanctr · Reef-Geek

it's hard to tell right now ..... it might have split into 3

I'm going to install the pump tomorrow afternoon.....I need to pick up a new hose clamp. Jeepers! that sucker is huge!! Can't wait to get it going.

Did I score or what! lol

Sneezy · Big-Geek

LOL it is a great pump and pretty quiet too.

Well done that is great news. Are you going to keep them both or sell one of them?

a4twenty · Newbie-Geek

nice

you don't need to do anything but i would hold off on feeding for ~ a week, while the mouth heals.

try to post some more pics of the spawn, when they're ready.

This morning they have colored up nicely.....as for selling one of them....

Barbara · Geekette

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Hows the nems doing Carol?

billrob71 · Will work for CLAMS

Looks good, how are they doing?

msbeanctr · Reef-Geek

They are just doing great......fat and happy.

I'm thinking of putting one of them in my new nano tank??? What do you think? I'll wait about 6 months so I can get everything stablized but will the tank be big enough?

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I wouldnt do it, they will outgrow it fast.

Pssstt! Hey Chris......I think YOU need one

cdangel0 · Geek Story Teller

Hey Carol,

If Chris won't trade and you want to sell one off let me know. I loved mine but lost 2 in a tank crash last summer.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

LOL I have two to sell myself.
