Try to see if they have been or are biteing at a spot on the rocks near the anemone. They do this to clean a spot to lay eggs and often this can cause their lips to turn white and ragged. Not sure about them biteing each others lips, never seen mine do that.

You and KAT74 is right. A false perc is Amphiprion ocellaris and a true perc is a different species called Amphiprion percula The photo is an ocellaris species.

Looks like a fairly healthy ( but confused, and may split soon ) GBTA to me. With that lighting and the location, should open big. Might want to try to get that ric above it, out of the way.

Heres three of the many faces of my LTA.

Why not.... I was haveing the same problem with the country map so I opened a new window and the map came right up. http://new-dogs.myminicity.com/ When it gets built. Come and see my huge public salt water aquarium. SWF.com members can visit New Dogs for free.........

L.I.Geo, it still has some nice cokor for that size....how long did it take it to grow to 8" ? Heres mine, 6" and 6 years.

Yep, Dr. Shimek wrote in his book that when feeding crustations to anemones ( esp. BTA ), the compleat shrimp should be digested, even the ectoskeleton with the exception of the chitin. I never see mine regurgitate anything. Nice pics.

Perhaps a mate for it and call it full. Personally I feel a 24g is too small for a Maroon for them long term.

Im not saying that its not what they claim, but I dont see much mix in the fish. Just looks like a highly stressed powder blue to me.

BTW, congrats.

A singlely kept clown of two years old is IMO, nearly certain to have already turned female long ago. What you have done is often the recomended way with an established Female, though it often is successfull most of the time, I will agree not always.

Putting one under stressfull conditions ( like moveing to another tank ) or cutting half way through it can often result in a successfull split, or, also can often end up killing them. Feeding them alot sometimes works but still takes time and could just result in a bigger anemone. No guarantees...

According to the second link, there not native to Texas either, perhaps because of people releaseing them also.....but, IDK myself. Sorry bout the hijack. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/loc...,6714966.story http://myfwc.com/nonnatives/exotics/...s.asp?SPPNO=40
