PowderBlue Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Brought home a new rose bta from Shaun today. As soon as it planted on the rock my giant maroon swam over and started to what looked like to me bite it. I moved her out of the way, right back she went. Pulled off one tentacle, now she just looks to be "mouthing" it not pulling anything off. Anyone seen this before? Good, bad..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Maroons do that to BTAs. It is OK most of the time. If it really gets bad then you may want to separate the two (eggcrate divider sometimes works). If the Maroon was that bad for the BTA, then they would not be together in the natural range of both species. The maroon would have killed off all the BTAs in the area (Or the BTA would fight back and eat the fool clowns!). dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
