Good to see you over here Jesse.:bigsmile: You must be going through withdrawals like me since our local site is down yet again!:cry:

Their favorite anemone moved from the bottom of the tank and through the rocks. The trio stayed with it for a day and didn't even come out to feed and then it moved to the back of the tank next to the purple LTA which is why I think they decided to check out the LTA.

ah sounds good. I thought the BTA was MIA.

so, what's the anemone count now?

:hammer:

I wish I can just "borrow" some more LemonDrops, CO Sunburst, and Flame tips.

although, I'm really liking the Red/Orange BTA I just got last week. seems like the ones that hobbyist trade in the LFS are always the brightest ones. the newer ones coming in lately are lighter in color to me. hope to find more from hobbyist locally.

Withdrawals is an understatement. I've been lurking this site for about a year and a half.

:snicker:

The ones from other hobbyists also seem a lot hardier to me. I don't typically see the lemon drops or sunbursts just lying around but that nice rbta with the greenish base was one that someone traded in at the local store.

Welll Jesse, perhaps that's the first sign that maybe you have a problem....:hammer:

New addition

I know this is a clown anemone thread and I went to the LFS to see what kind of anemones he had and I saw this beautiful LOBO that I just had to have.:tongue:

MarvinsReef · Jan 20, 2012

That is a very nice Lobo.

Thanks Rev and Marvin! I wasn't even looking for a lobo but figured it could hold it's own in an anemone tank!

It should. A clown might even host it.

That would be quite the home for a clown. I had to sell the Lobo in my other tank because everything that got accidentally knocked into it, it would toast. Those tentacles can pack quite a punch. But the all time champion was the tube anemone I had in my FOWLR tank!

New additions!

Well I took you up Marvin on your suggestion and I got a little juvi to pair with Bruiser. We had a meeting at our house today and Dave, my local breeder brought him over. They paired up right away!1smile1 Sorry the picture is not so good but I'm probably one of the few people crazy enough to have a Platinum pair of clowns in their sump!:snicker:

I ended up getting another anemone. We have a program at our local forum called Tanks for Teacher where we donate tanks to schools. All the proceeds went to a local high school saltwater tank so hey it was for a good cause and it came with an anemone crab! How cool is that?:smile:

Thanks Marvin! I have to stop.... Has anyone else noticed how addicting this hobby can be?

Got my boys a new toy also. Should have it next week. Gotta find another Flame Tip in the near future.

Keep up the good work Kim. I enjoy seeing pics and reading the updates.
