New GBTA

[rplank]

I picked up a GBTA today. Gorgeous little 'nem. It wandered the tank for a while before lights out and has now stopped walking and appears to be settling in. Problem is he is backing into a shell right next to a toadstool. Could be entertaining watching the show! Toadstool can be easily moved if necessary.

I would move the toadstool now. Toadstools release a ton of toxins when they are stung as a defense mechanism. Depending on tank volume, toadstool size and whether or not you are running activated carbon, it could be enough to kill corals and/or fish.

The nem will also hurt and cause the toadstool to split

I moved toady shortly after pic was taken. I do run carbon. Thanks for the input!

I have no experience with nems and am curious how fast they move?

It took him about 45 minutes to go the 13" across my tank.
