Caja,
I just stumbled on this thread...been a busy coupla days.....
This is awesome!! Your tank looks great! What kind of anemone is that on the right? Is that a Gonipora up front? Its kinda tough to tell from the pic...
Can we see some more shots of the tank, and its inhabitants?
One last question..... Aren't you worries that the rest of the Nano-Kids are gonna vote you off the island now that you are over the 20 gallon mark?

Nick

caja · 03-30-2004, 09:13 PM

voted off? nope, won't happen. I have a 2.5 gallon nano too. see, I know how to work the system.

that anemone, I think...is a heteractus malu, from what I have been able to ascertain from my web searches. (altho I may be wrong) it was just a baby when I bought it 6 months ago, and it's foot was clear. when I moved it into the cube the other day I noticed that the foot is now turning orange. might just be an LTA after all. I'll post a pic of it and see what everyone's opinion is.

I'll snap some close ups tomorrow. no goniopora, it's a xenia on the sand front and center. want it?

Ummm....no.
Just got rid of some Anthelia that was attempting to spread through my tank.

I fits got verrucae and a red base, its most likely an LTA.
Also From what I've been able to read, H.malu has short stubby tentacles...that might be a H. crispa.....
Here is a link that might help you out....
Not all of the pics are the greatest...The one of the LTA (M. Doreensis) is horrible....but it might help.

Nice clam caja!

caja · 03-31-2004, 05:24 PM

thanks Craig. I just bought a baby squammy to place on the sand.

here's that anemone I was telling you about.

drdrew · 03-31-2004, 05:27 PM

what about these pest water buffaloes?

will joes juice work on them?

caja · 03-31-2004, 05:33 PM

hehe, no. I think you need to use Stop Water Buffalo.

Maxx · 03-31-2004, 07:23 PM

Caja,
That is a LTA....M.doreensis. I have one very similar to that in my tank. The real give away on that is the way the tentacles curl slightly. Another name for the LTA is corkscrew anemone...caue of that goofy curl.....the curl is usually more pronounced on mine, but it varies on individuals...
I have no idea on those pesky water buffalos......obviously you have something in the tank that contributes to their existance....excess nutrients maybe? Rinse your food in RO/DI water, (then discard the water), do several water changes, and cut down on your photo period.
HTH

Craig Manoukian · 03-31-2004, 11:27 PM

A little muriatic acid between the eyes should rid your tank of those Water Buffaloes Drew!

birdman204 · 04-02-2004, 12:56 PM

BWaaahahahaaa... Water Buffalo....
Save em, skin em, and make some stew....

We can't vote Caja out. She wrote a veto clause for all votes into her contract.

Your tank looks great Caja. Is the Clown hosting that anemone? It sure looks happy there in that crevice. I didn't realize that the hood had an open top too. Do you get a lot of light into the room?

You are really giving me the bug to move to a bigger tank that can fit a clam. I'm thinking something huge, like a 20. Gigantical.
