My tank has recently gone from 4 to 5 healthy specimens. I started with one RBTA about a year and a half ago. It was a large specimen at the LFS - I'd say 8-10" across. Within days of introducing it into my then 125 gal aquarium, it split into two smaller specimens. And they continued to grow until January this year when I introduced them into my 180g.

Shortly after that news I received a promotion at work which required us to move to a new city. My plans were to get settled and then start my reef build back up again. Well work was crazy and then ...
