Actinic shots

[gflat65]

Any ballpark guesses on species?

ORA MI Yellow Fuzzy-I've been calling it aculeus

Pink Lemonade (nasuta?)

Deepwater

Another Deepwater (I think-almost looks like it'll be tabling)

loripes/granulosa?

Pink tipped with green polyp abrotanoides?

Deepwater (my new favorite) sold as caroliniana?

The Loripes is sweet!

Thanks schminksbro. It took it a while to show any color, so I'm happy with it right now. It isn't that nice under full lighting, but continues to pick up more color.

Pnoy-that is a hitchhiking Majano. It needs to go (in fact, it will tonight). No more excuses.

Thanks everybody. I've been neglecting the tanks lately due to other issues, so it's nice to see they are hanging in there for me... If I can get some freakin coralline on my rocks instead of this black fuzz, I'd be ecstatic (cured it with a G5 for 4 months and has been in the tank for 6 months, but still turns black and fuzzy...).

Any other guesses on the species?

Took a few more actinic shots that actually turned out decent for a change (without using a tripod). They are a little more colorful than in reality, but not much. I'm wondering what T5's will do for them as opposed to VHO (supplementation)...

Got this beaut from Dr. Mac at last year's Chattanooga swap. It took some time to start coloring up, but it's getting closer. Much more muted under MH lighting, but same colors.

Pink and green A. abrotanoides

Most expensive anemone I've ever owned, but I'm loving it. Thought I lost it, but it came out with a vengeance.

(full lighting-colors come out red, but I see orange and yellow with a green base).

Not sure what this guy is, but it's been filling in (not up) for a while.

This one glows under normal lighting. I think A. loripes? Definitely one of my favorites. Started brown 9 months ago.

Purple caroliniana-another one of my favorites. It has a blue brother that is putting on size, but not as fast, and it doesn't have nearly the intensity of color. The tips are finally glowing, but it is spreading down them very slowly. No shots of that one right now, though.

Couple of Stylo's. The dread like growth of the green one is kinda cool. They brighten up a dark corner.

Nice pictures!

I just got my nem' in last week. It is looking sickly right now, but hopefully will turn around. (partially my fault - I let my alk get too low and didn't notice till a couple things looked "off") - NOT a good idea with tons of $$$$ in livestock. Sometimes life keeps us busy though - so I know what your talking about on the tank not getting as much attention.
Hopefully mine pulls through and looks as healthy as your is looking.

Sounds like you had the same problem as me. My dkH was 5.8 when I finally checked it after a long time of semi neglect. Too much livestock for that, but, like you said (paraphrasing), life has a way of trying to kill you. After I got my alk up, the nem has started showing itself and putting on size. Feedings haven't hurt, either (when it finally started eating).
