its a sand dwelling anemone.. Dig a lil hole in the sand, and 'plant' its foot. if you have enough lighting, it will stay, but if it starts to climb the rocks, you'll need to look for better lighting

Originally Posted by aviator okay, salwaterfish.com's description of the false percula clownfish says it will "get along" with other clownfish in the tank. the description of the orange skun clown says it's "one of the most docile" clownfish - so, reading these two desriptions, you would think...

Thanks bang guy step 1. Make sure your rotifers are going well before thinking too hard about pulling the eggs, If you dont have the food to feed the larva, they will die, and you will be discouraged. take the time to get the rotifers going well, study gestation and spawning frequencies. Slip a...

when I pull my eggs from their parents, I walk across a 20 foot room with them exposed to air.. I have succesfully raised thousands. I do dont waste a lot of time and stop for a coffee break and let the eggs dry or anything, but I do expose them. I have even exposed the eggs when only half of...

Originally Posted by Mr. Wonderful Thanks for everyone's advise - just so that I am clear. I bought 2 true percula clownfish to host my Sebae (not knowing that it would not host my particular sebae). If I bought an additional pair of clownfish (that would host my sebae) would the true percula...

definitely the easiest of the carpets, but IMO a BTA is much easier to care for. most people lump all of the carpet anemones together, but theuy all have very different needs. HAdoni is pretty easy to care for, but there are reports of eating fish. S.gigantea is not nearly as likely to eat your...

Originally Posted by Lord Fu Fu what would be the best anemone for a pair of 1.25" pink skunk clowns... i am pretty sure they will take to anyone since right now they are using a rubber one... i was leaning towards a BTA b/c they are hardy and i like the look. i will look into all other...

Originally Posted by Mr. Wonderful Hello All, I just bought a sebae anemone and was wondering if it likes to be on rock or sand. I am sure it will find its own home - I was just wondering. Thanks for your time! if the sebae that you bought is an H. crispa, it belongs in the sand. if the...

Originally Posted by pagano24 do you leave the parents in the main tank? If not, can you ever bring the fry back with the parents? Yes parents stay where they are and the eggs are moved to a hatching tank ( some people capture the larva from the main tank after hatch). No, I never put the...

the only cultures necessary are the rotifers and they are easy. I use a commercial refriferated phytoplankton to feed the rotifers with. Its actually very simple to culture rotifers. i have raised a few thousand Onyx percs, a few hunred Ocellaris, a few fire clowns, a few orange skunks, a few...

on this site/forum BTAs and LTAs are often confused, so it could be splitting, if it is a BTA. If it is actually an LTA ( M.doreensis) then its highly doubtful that it is splitting.

Tis true.. I have a bunch of baby saddlebacks that use BTAs as a host. Its not natural in the wild, but it does happen in our tanks

Originally Posted by Dani Thanks for the feedback I'm not sure I'm ready for the expense of a carpet anemone or that it will play nicely with the new corals in my tank ... I had the anemone before the clown and it was doing just fine I was leaning toward trying an LTA. So I think I may do...

Originally Posted by Dani My saddleback clown has been a little too aggressive with my sebae anemone - picking incesantly at it's mouth. Now after 2 weeks of this, the anemone looks like it is about to just die. This morning I came in to see the anemone's mouth open - about 3in diameter -...
