my condy shrinks at night?!

jubbers · 07-28-2007, 11:18 PM

when i turn my lights off my condy anemone shrinks and backs into the cave in the live rock.but when it turn my lights on it expands and comes back out that is normal right? i have a 20 gallon aquarium and i am thinking of buying this nano fission skimmer. it is the best price and quality i have seen so far it is about $30 with shipping and everything. also tell if that is normal for a condy.

I think everything in my aquarium closes up shop for the night. Stuff shrinks when the lights go out. Don't get that skimmer. I haven't heard one good thing about it.

Condys do that at night.
Save your money for an Aqua C Remora.
I have one on my 20g and it is awesome.

I agree, many light loving organisms go into hiding at night. Also you would be better served with the Aqua Remora C. I have a 20 gallon and it has a Aqua Remora C. Search www.craigslist.com, for your area, or Ebay. You may just find one that your finances will allow.

Aqua C Remora is a great protein skimmer.
I have one on my 20g and absolutely love it. Great preformance for smaller tanks.
