    I'm new to this site and hope that my temperate 300 gallon marine tank will be of interest to all . I'm lucky to be able to collect my own specimens whilst snorkelling down here in new zealand, and have created a biotope that looks every bit as colourful as a tropical reef tank....check-out my pics!

    The tank is filled with jewel anemones....the same as off the California coast...called corallimorphs...same family as corals but with a soft body rather than a hard exoskeleton.cheers.
