Edit: I have done some reading and an article about them says that rebuilding their tubes is a very stressful process..so is it necessary to remove it before shipping?

I dont think it can be that stressful, but sure it is easier for me to keep them in the tube. I usually hang them upside down in the water and they climb out on their own usually, just takes some time. but I can leave it intact. I worry about decay in shipping, but I have shipped a few and they do well. All without tubes so this will be a good learning experience.

ok I will add it in tomorrow, let me know how it goes. I am just going to double check your zip availability for next day. Shame I saw a mantis this weekend, I just dont like having them around, but for a day or two...

patrick824 · 01-31-2010, 08:42 PM

my tube anemone actually died today haha. or maybe he just popped out of his tube im not sure. it seems as if he just popped his head off

i know this is kind of off topic, but just wanted to say thanks, and my CuC order i got a few weeks ago is working out great. will hopefully be coming back for more when i upgrade to a 90 in a few weeks

johnmaloney · 01-31-2010, 10:13 PM

oh no...it would probably eat the clown if it had the chance. this nem doesn't host.

johnmaloney · 01-31-2010, 10:15 PM

what were you feeding yours before it died?
