HELP! Should I isolate my RBTA?!
Ok so my bleached RBTA the I acquired from my friend isn't doing well. It's foot is no longer attached to the rock and the anemone is just rolling around the tank. I turned flow way down and it's still happening. Also, my clownfish keeps bumping into it and moving it more. Should I isolate the RBTA in a cage in my tank or just let it be?

If you can isolate it in the tank, still providing good light , live rock to attach to, and water flow, then isolate it. Water parameters? The reason I ask is because even a bleached BTA will attach, maybe something doesn't suit it in the tank.

It can't hurt to try, the clownfish isn't helping matters by bumping into it. I've seen people use strawberry crates for this.

My parameters are fine. If anything my phosphates are a little high...
So I isolated the RBTA to a "hospital area" and it attached its foot to the bottom, so that's a start.

Reading it may not make it so. I have no idea myself, mine hasn't even moved in over 3 years. I'm not sure they 'like' to do it, over there's some other reason they detatch.

Well this one isn't in good shape, so I doubt it's going for a "tumble".

After they split I've noticed it seems to take the smaller clone a while to find a niche that it likes. It will go somewhere and then it will stay a few days and wander to another spot, until it finds just the right place. But the "daddy" to all of mine has been pretty much stationary since I got it between 3 and 4 years ago. When it has split, the smaller clone goes wandering and the larger one stays put.
