This is just an account of a visit my buddy and i made to another "friend" who had been depressed and hasn't been himself. And what we found was surprising to say the least.
He hadn't been to his tanks downstairs, for a month and without real automation not even for lights they remained in the dark all that time. Well without food of any kind or WC , skimmer was a mess, the shrimps where still alive, so where the babylonian snails, a few bubble tip anemone, pink orange, and green orange, flower anemone as well, some polyps, and in a seperate tank a 26" in diameter clam had died, what a smell! The algae growth in that particular was insane even without lights go figure, and a couple of clowns where still swimming in there, a rescue followed of course. We took what was alive and said bye and good luck.
The nem i rescued; how did it survive without light for a month is beyond me.
Anybody have similar stories of survival of this nature or freaky survival conditions. It shows how resiliant some of are little critters can be( anemeno in the dark for a month..)
