Beautiful anemone!! I love that green color!


Warning: polymnus are VERY rough with anemones and can kill them. Yes, the carpet anemones are a natural host for saddleback clowns but in the confines of our aquariums, the anemone will get abused.

Thanks!! I have noticed him being rough some of the time... I did some further research and it said that it was the mouth that gets irritated... I don't see him around the mouth too much so thats good... Only time will tell.

Look at the teeth on that Saddleback! Grrrrrrrr. He looks a snug as a bug in a rug. Great photography!

I know I guess I didn't realize they had teeth... Thanks though!

Thanks Billy, booze, and bluespotjawfish for the compliments!

Nice pics of a nice pair.
Both look quite content .

Lynn he is very happy it seems in the anemone, and thanks!

Here are some pictures of day 3 with the clown/anemone pair.

What types of foods should I be feeding the anemone? I have just been using mysis... anything better?

Thanks,

Matt

 

[Craig Manoukian]

A cube of mysis or an equal piece of raw shrimp once a week should do.

Beautiful!!

I feed my anemones a varied diet of thawed chopped silversides (1/2"), chunks of homemade mush, cube of Formula One, chopped shrimp (1/2"), or chopped scallops (1/2").

Great carpet and clown... looks like a lovely addition to your tank.

Thanks all,

Doni where would I find scallops?

Also where can I get nori? I havent found it any where

Matt

 

[Woodstock]

I get all of my fresh seafood from Harris Teeter grocery store. They have a great selection of fresh seafood all the time.

Some get their nori from an Asian store but I get mine from the LFS.

Doni... I checked at all the grocery stores for both and no cigar, being here only 3 months I don't really know where to find things yet.
Does anyone in the kansas city area know where you can find any of this stuff?

Thanks,

Matt

 

[Woodstock]

Then just buy the frozen fish foods at the LFS. There are many variaties to choose from and most are very well made and nutritious!

Most of these are offered at large fish stores:

Doni, would the full sized krill or table shrimp work?

I got some new pictures of stuff with some coloring up photos...

I also purchased a new birdsnest... appears to have purple polyps?

[JFK_Jr]

Nice additions to your tank...

Love your picture quality... what kind of camera you using?

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Fabulous stuff as always! Great SPS polyp extension!

 

[saltwaterfarm]

Wow... just keeps getting better!

 

[lcstorc]

Beautiful pics of gorgeous corals!
Keep up the good work.

 

[aquaman3680]

Thanks all... I am using a Nikon D50 as a camera...

These pictures were taken with my new tripod that I got yesterday. Do you see any differences in picture quality?

Also i have to report a sad loss. My anthias who had the belly full of air died in these past days. He was eating great and all I am not so sure why he died

R.I.P

Matt

 

[lcstorc]

Sorry for your loss.

 

[DeepBlue]

Sorry to hear about losing your antias. I loved mine too and she decided to go carpet surfing one night.

Regarding the Nori and scallops, I get mine at a local grocery store. The Nori you will find in the ethnic or asian section. Usually, they put it on the bottom shelf. It is in a flat plastic ziplock bag which makes it easy to miss on the shelves. The scallops, if they don't have fresh in the meat and seafood department, get the frozen uncooked scallops. Usually these come in 1# bags. These can be chopped up into preportioned servings for your anemone and stored frozen in ziplock bags. Hope you can find these items.

Thanks Lynn and deepblue!

The other two are looking great.. I cant find the Nori at the grocery store... I guess I will try a different grocery store.
