Sorry for the delay guys but I finally got some pics:

Here's a shot from my gallery:

I'm still working on getting a decent full tank shot that I'm not embarrassed to post..

... its the hardest shot to get..

uclacsnerd · 03-03-2004, 02:10 AM

Here's the before shot:

This was taken 9 months ago or so. He's really much greener than this shows (or at least he is now). But you can see he used ot be out in the open.

uclacsnerd · 03-03-2004, 02:11 AM

Another taken tonight:

As you can see he's wedged under the rock by the back wall...

What do you guys think?

Craig Manoukian · 03-03-2004, 08:48 AM

Looks fine to me, very healthy and good coloration. Relax and enjoy what 's goin' on!

jimeluiz · 03-03-2004, 09:39 AM

yeah - beautiful

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

uclacsnerd · 03-03-2004, 01:58 PM

ya i figured i'll just let nature take it course. pretty cool to have a something in your living room simulate nature so closely.. at least we like to think its close

on the other hand I hope he doesnt stay back there.. a big center piece is missing from my tank now

From looking at the pics, it looks good & healthy. It's a PITA when they choose to move to somewhere you'd not like them to be, or where you can't see them, but if it's healthy, enjoy that, and hope that maybe it will move to a preferred position sometime in the future. One thing we have to accept, is that the anemone will decide where it likes the combination of light & water flow, and not us.

Yo what BoomerD said. Motile noyt the best for aquascaping, eh? Especially if they burn corals on their jaunt. One of the realities of having these beautiful creatures.
