Do BTA's require High water flow or Low?

[tamz273]

Well, the title kinda explains it... Ive had some BTA's for about a week and a half now.. they are doing fine, but their tenticles have kind of like dark spot where they keep bending due to high water flow... Is that alright or should I reduce the water flow/move the PH's around? or do they like high water flow?

here are some pics of the "hinges" im speaking of...

They do fine in most flow rates as long as it isn't damaging. I have noticed they prefer moderate flow rates, as opposed to low or high. If your anemone didn't like the flow it's in, then it would move. The crimping of the tentacles looks like some sort of reaction to me, possibly due to being downstream of some coral or another stinging animal.

o alright... well i decreased the flow rate on that specific out just a bit (re-adjusted my PH)... also, if i buy a new LFS, should i just kinda "nudge" it in a rock n itll grow onto it? or is there sumthing specific i should do about getting it acclimated with the tank? (already did the dripping and put it in the tank)

Branching LPS's dont attach to your rock work so you can just push it down in the sand or set it in the rock work

[tamz273]

anything they would prefer? or all works well?

Well I got rid of most of my hammer 30+ heads and just kept 4 heads like 6-8 weeks ago and now up to 8 heads and I just put mine down in the sand and dont spot feed it at all the only things I spot feed are my acans and duncans about every 10-14 days and my duncan went from 1 head to 23 heads in a year and my acan was 4 heads and now is 7 heads in about 8 weeks and those are all LPS's.
