    Default rbta - to bubble or not to bubble

    ok, i have heard all kinds of explanations of why bubble tip anemones bubble there tips. i thought we might start a thread to see who has them and if they are bubbling or stringy.

    i will start it off with a bit of a puzzle.

    two bstreep rbta clones that the clowns host.

    one bubbles and one doesnt





    this rules out different flow, different light, different water quality, different genetics, and just about any other difference i can think of for my two. any ideas, or is it just one of those unanswerable mysteries?

    Mine almost never bubble. I also don't feed them - they only get what comes their way.

    Ace, any chance the bubbly one is being fed by the clowns?

    Or - I also have clowns - they beat the heck out mine. Any chance that might have something to do with it?
