Purchase a new bubble tip anemone

[ReefPrincess423]

The guy seems happy until the point that the skunk shrimp sit there and 'fondle' him. Not after feedings. Just whenever they want and he retracts.

I had feed him but I don't see his mouth so I take my Turkey and aim the food towards the center.?? And of of course then the annoying shrimp try to scavenge. I know it's their nature but it's annoying. I feed them before n they're still ruthless.

The clowns haven't even glanced at the anemone to form a symbiotic relationship.

Additionally I was considering purchasing another anemone is that allowed? Specifically a long tentacle purple one. Hoping the clowns will host in there?

What's your salinity at?

 

[ReefPrincess423]

1.025

 

[mookinpie]

I've always put the anemone in a five gallon tank with my clones before I set the anemone in my display tank gives the clowns time to adjust to it, won't hurt the clowns none 9/10 they will host it seeing that they are in a small area together

Clowns*

Mines at 1.030 is that bad

 

[ReefPrincess423]

@mookinpie great idea!

 

[ReefPrincess423]

@mookinpie how about purchasing another us ok

 

[mookinpie]

Was 1.032 was using standard instant ocean hydrometer but read a post they don't always have the right readings [emoji52]

 

[mookinpie]

You will be fine with another one

 

[mookinpie]

I use to breed Them just don't mix with carpet anemones but another bubble tip will be good

 

[ReefPrincess423]

@mookinpie Wow u breed them. His difficult was that?!

 

[mookinpie]

It was saying on the hydrometer that it was 1.027 I checked it on my new Refractometer and got another reading witch was 1.032 [emoji52]

 

[ReefPrincess423]

What's ideal?

 

[mookinpie]

1.024-1.026 for reefs I think but I'm confused with the reading witch one should I believe

 

[mookinpie]

Oh wasn't hard to breed in the right conditions they will split apart and I'll have a new addition to the tank

 

[ReefPrincess423]

I like to use the more simplistic one

 

[mookinpie]

Okay great [emoji1417] thanks for the opinion [emoji4]

 

[ReefPrincess423]

@mookinpie I'm amazed how simple it is. I could only hope that'd happen to me

 

[mookinpie]

It will happen you just have to believe in yourself [emoji847]
