help me out here, i dont want this thing taking over. it seems pretty attached to this large hole in this rock. So i know where it is. Wodering if the zoos and buttons would live thru a freshwater dip. I know that sucker would come right out!....well, i think.

the clown was FREAKINg out, spriting from end to end, up and dwn. The 3 shrimp were swimming around too (which i never see them do) The anenome was dieing becuase i could see it was falling apart. Toxins. Most anenomes release their sting posin when they die.

everything (as far as other aminmals) seem to be dong fine. I know the annome hasnt been in the tank during its dieing stage b/c ive been watching it every closley for some time.... hmmm, wonder if i should wait till tommoro morning?

Just died, i belive it was ateast. Anyways, took it out, and everything in the tank is going wack? Guessing it released the toxins? Is everything gonna die? Water change?

I have 18 X 2 lighting. Water is excellent. Been setup for a month. So no more fish huh?
