Its hard geting a pic of that guy.... i wish i would have set th etank long ways... and have all the plumbin come off one of the 12" sides anyway

No feeding, no nothing(GTA).... Its harder now to feed him, (nemo) cause he doesnt want to leave his home.
my mag is back 2 normal, and the GTA has regained, its color.... most of my byopsis is now growing in the sump...... so

...Make sure to include their hosts if you have one!

I'm sure it's already been said but the anemone is the host, not the clownfish/shrimp, etc.

Anyway, here's a pic:

A picture of two clone of my RBTA, they divide usually once in the year, both approx. 14-15".

I fed my RBTA a silverside tonight. I lay it inside it's tentacles and it usually jerks and closes up on it. Tonight it must not have detected it because a cleaner shrimp scrambled up the tentacles and snatched the silverside and drug it out on to the substrate. I grabbed it back from him and put it back into the tentacles and shook it a little bit against them. He almost got me, he closed up so fast.

Must have been taking a cat nap Terry.
You woke him up to eat. lol

 

[tbittner]

Yeah, he was sleeping, laying on the beach, with a nice hot sun shining down on him, getting a tan...

Oh jeez....

 

[vdituri]

... laying on the beach, with a nice hot sun shining down on him, getting a tan...

Then this big scary man came and poked him in the head with a dead flounder. EAT THIS NOW! OR ELSE!

End of story.

OK so yesterday i purchased a carpet anemone and tonight i got a clarki clown. and in 3 hours he already has made it home, cleaned it out. defending it against the other clown in the tank who has no interest in the anemone. I feel so freaking happy and amazed this wonderful thing happened to me!

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Sounds awesome, can we see a picture of your success sunshinejag?

 

[tbittner]

I'd love to see pictures too!

I need a nap.
