Hi, I have a powder blue that has turned his nose up at eating romaine lettuce. Which he was quite happy with until a few weeks ago. He won't touch nori. The only things he will eat are some small pellet food and frozen mysis shrimp. Neither of which seem to have too much substance to keep his...

I have read some mixed opinions about having different species of anenome in the same tank. I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion about throwing a mini carpet anenome in the same tank as an LTA. Would there still be some sort of chemical combat going on? I would like another anenome and...
