 |  my third anemone
After the two previous disasters ( my second anemone ), I found a local gent that was kind enough to sell me a 3" rbta for 15 bucks. No more mail orders for this guy (well maybe corals). This one was a split of another that was in a local gents tank for months.
Anyways, tomorrow will be a week in my DT and the lil dude is doing smashingly. I've been feeding it a pea sized raw shrimp piece every 36 hours since the first day. It gobbles it up like a child with candy. Things are looking up 
I'm curious how long it's taken your clowns to host a new anemone. If this applies to you please share the anemone and clownfish type along with a timeframe I haven't had any success with that yet, hopefully in the next few weeks they'll figure out what's down there
EZ all
PS: pics coming 2nite. |

yeah, he made it a week Crawled itself back into a crevace about 1cm wide and started to melt. I got a refund from F&S for it, couldn't bare to watch another die.
This morning I woke up to a powerhead on the substrate, so this guys rock was built up with a wall of aragonite on the right side of the the rock. The anemone was not covered thankfully!
I moved it up about 1/2 way up the tank and remounted the pump, after cleaning the suction cups and the glass What a morning Hopefully it will be happy where I placed it, he hasn't moved out of the rock he was on when I purchased em' Time will tell, hopefully those dang clowns will pay him a visit too

I have 2 pair of maroons, both jumped into their anemones immediately. (One of them has a long tentacle and the others have a bubble tip) I have 2 pair of Clarkii clowns, both jumped into their anemones immediately. (One has a bubble tip, and the others have a carpet) I have a pair of saddlebacks, they jumped into their anemone immediately and it is a Rose anemone. I have 4 pair of occellaris, and they have still not hosted, its been over two months and 3 of them have BTAs and 1 had a carpet. I gave the carpet to the clarkiis after about a month and a half. I have 4 pair of A. Percula, but only have one pair with an anemone and it hasn't hosted yet, its been over a month, it is with a BTA.
PS. One pair of A. Frenatus (tomato) no anemone.
Hope that helps. GL2Y

After the fiasco with teh powerhead yesterday the anemone went out the bottom hole of the rock it was on and is hiding under it. Pretty sure he's a little stressed out from the incident yesterday.
Thanks for the karma and good wishes ! | |
