这bubble-tip anemone((Entacmaea quadricolor)或BTA在海洋水族馆的爱好中很受欢迎,它相对耐寒并且易于保持,随着海葵的发展以及作为许多小丑鱼种类的合适宿主气葵。但是,对于可怕的传奇歌手Dion Dimucci而言,“是那种喜欢漫游的Nem的类型” - 尤其是当它被安顿到一个新系统中或决定对其在既定的系统中的安置不满意时。
海葵在其水族馆周围游行的问题是,任何时候它都有可能涉足设备或其他无脊椎动物,具有潜在的(甚至是致命的)后果。因此,必须设计或修改任何包含BTA的系统,以减少意外伤害或种间遭遇的风险。
以下是在防止BTA防护箱时要考虑的几个重要因素:
Crowded reef tanks aren’t ideal for BTAs
人们确实在各种珊瑚和其他无脊椎动物中将BTA保存在礁石系统中。但是,如上所述,如果海葵漫游,这可能会证明是有问题的,因为它可能会被任何反转在其旅行中遇到的任何反转(尽管并非所有珊瑚都对BTA的刺痛)同样敏感,反之亦然)。更不用说,在混合珊瑚礁中,反转中的化学病(化学战)的问题往往更大。BTA的最佳住房是一个专门针对其需求的大型系统。

泵and powerheads are problematic
在伤害/杀死徘徊的nems方面,潜水泵和电力头是最大的犯罪者之一,因此必须使用海绵,泡沫或类似材料对这些设备的进气口进行筛选。筛选材料不仅必须产生物理障碍,而且还必须扩散吸力,以便海葵的触角或脚不会被困在进气口上,或者实际上被泵入泵内。
Keep in mind that the material protecting the intake will trap a lot of debris, so you’ll need to remove and rinse it frequently to prevent clogging and the subsequent reduction of water flow.
Heaters can be harmful
水族馆加热器还可以对NEM造成重大健康危害。为了防止流浪的BTA接触或将自己固定在加热器上并严重烫伤,最好将加热器放在底漆中,而不是在主显示箱中。If that’s not an option, the heater needs to be isolated in such a manner that the anemone can’t reach it, but the water can still easily flow around it—for example, by inserting the heater in a section of PVC pipe with holes drilled through it.
稳定,最佳条件不鼓励漫游
Once a BTA settles into a suitable location in its new home (typically with its foot attached down inside a rocky crevice), it will be more inclined to remain in that location if conditions are kept stable and optimal. So be sure to guard against issues such as:
- 波动温度,,,,pH,,,,specific gravity,,,,or other水参数
- 逐渐恶化的水质
- 逐渐下降的光强度/转移光谱特征(适当的时间表,清洁盖玻璃等更换灯泡/管)
- Corals encroaching在海葵上,随着殖民地的大小增加或从岩石到岩石的扩散(另一种说明海葵的专用坦克的论点)
- nippy鱼罐
这se and any other influences that impact the stability of the system or alter living conditions for the worse can prompt a BTA to detach and go roaming in search of “greener pastures,” potentially putting itself or tankmates at risk in the process.
