IMO One large leather is enough. In fact in my tank I have eliminated all my large leathers and most of my LPS that have long tenticals. I want more colorful small polyped corals. Candy canes are cool... so are duncans.

I would nix the carnation.. wayyy to much work to keep one healthy and they typically do not last long. Systems with constant phyto drips heavy filtering and flow seem to have the most luck with em. For shrooms... I like green hairy shrooms I think they are cool. I also like superman shrooms...

Originally Posted by LexLuethar Guess I just need suggestions on what to focus on now:) I haven't had much luck with acros - I don't believe they do well in tanks w/ leathers and softies. I have a MH and the two acros (bought from two different places) I had died over a few months period. So...

Originally Posted by LexLuethar Ya, i've read that thread. It is my own fault - but I do have covers on them, just nothing as small as pantyhose or spounges. And for the last 1.5 years it has been in the same location loving life until the weird split. Guess I can use this as a new starting...

Originally Posted by spyder78 I wish I would have gotten the hint when it jumped. I hurried to put it back in. When I was finally ready to take it out and return it to the LFS, it took forever to catch that little thing! Yeah, I will definitely have to be much more diligent with the top-offs...

Sorry to hear that Lex... one of the most important safety features to add to your tank if you decide to have an anemone. I wish I would of sent you this a while ago... https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/305714/pre-filters

Yes I am quite familiar with who Bob Fenner is. I actually have spoken to him a couple of times. So are you saying this is an unhealthy anemone... FYI it hasent been fed in over 8 months. It hasent split in almost 2 years. When anemones feed they inflate, this is most likely because it...

Originally Posted by dragracer ok, I'll try that. But I have MORE than ample lighting, so you're saying feeding isn't necessary at all? I have two 175w 10k MH's one 150 w 15k and three 55w 50/50's actinics. Oh yeah, its a 75gallon tank I havent spot feed my anemone in over 8 months... you...

I disagree 150% unless they are under PC lights or less this is not the reason. An anemone gets 90% of its food from the light and trace elements in your water. Supplemental feedings will not hurt, but neither will not feeding them either. There is something else off, and its not starvation...

What lights were they under at the LFS? Anything less than metal halides? If yes then my guess is light shock, BTA's are able to survive under different types of lighting, so if they were taken from a less intense light to a more intense light, they need to be acclimated to it. This could be why...
