puntific Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Is there ANY coral that can stand up to a RBTA? Thanks, puntific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrd Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 That about sums that up. RBTA takes out the dreaded Hydno-:eek:-Freakin game over I had to get rid of my RBTA, actually both of them, it split. I think the wife is still sad about that, the lonely clown fish she says- My issue with the RBTA was when it decided to move and just would put its foot over what ever was in its path. It used to brush up against an acro and leather I have, never an issue, its when it smothered some raindow monti is when it had to leave. Unless you have a LOT of space my opinion is in the long run you are better off without it-it most likely will move and kill your prized coral. Oops I figured SPS for some reason-My RBTA was fine with all my LPS, neon toadstool, hammer, octo, torch....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntific Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 All I can say is [language filter]! Takes out the Hydno... I use Hydno to kill aptasia!

RLaForce Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Mine was fine around frogspawn. Granted it is a colony of about 25-30 big heads, but they we kinda at a standstill. I also have a long tentacle that battles with my devils hand and they are both okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I think most soft corals (mushrooms, leathers, zoas) are somewhat okay around them as long as they don't smother them. I've had them touch without killing them. I do try to move the corals out of their path though. Right now mine is down behind a rock covered in GSP and it doesn't seem to be having an effect on it. I expect it to move up on the rock tomorrow. (It's only been in the tank since monday so it's still hiding down in the rocks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have a well behaved Rose anemone that never moves from its hole in the rock. Once it found its current hole it has not left. It has split but I encouraged that and when it did it just made a lap around the rock and settled back right next to its other half.This rose has has split prolly 5 times in the last 4 years.

Jay Thanks Jay, This is exactly what I need. My kids won't tolerate the RBTA leaving... I confess, neither will I. I just need to get more stuff growing over there. Anyone have any experience with Zoas near a RBTA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate213 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have a colony of blue tubbs next to my RBTA. During the day when the halides are on the RBTA covers part of them and the zoas close up. When the light dims and the RBTA shrinks back, they open back up. It has been this way for 6-months or more. I guess I have been lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoa's seem to be okay as long as it isn't covering them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
