RBTA Questions...Pictures...

Here are some pics of my RBTA...

The pump in that picture is a MP10. How big would you consider the RBTA? M? L? XL?

2 Smaller ones on a single rock...Why dont my RBTA's Bubble at all? The tentacles are always long and slender, and at night they often retract into the RBTA. This normal? Are these true RBTA's?

Thanks!

I would say about a M.. possibly L...

As for the bubble. to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever determined exactly what causes them to bubble. my current one bubbled all the time. then it decided to retract and hide and then bleach itself.. and has since bubbled once as of a year ago in July/August.

I feed it regularly but no bubbles. They look like true bubbles to me and wouldnt mind having another to add to my tank when i get a larger one.

As far as bubbling, I have been told that know one really knows why they do or they don't. Just like when they decide to go for a walk. No one really knows. The most prevalent theories are too much flow, too little flow, too little light and/or less than pristine water conditions.
