As a clownfish breeder that has put thousands of tank raised fish with anemones to see them host quickly, I say poppycock to the people that say they are less likely to host. I have heard that the pic method works well. The reason it works is not because they are playing copy-cat, but more-so...

just saw the parents in the other thread. Nice pair!

Originally Posted by KerriAnn alright then, so lets spin this. knowing that we've had an established tank for close to 18 months and water params are ideal, when we get another one from the LFS that has poor water compared to ours, do we temp acclimate and go or do we drip acclimate?? Jon - i...

Be careful when making your own food. Most seafood even the freshest/most natural often comes packed with tripolyphosphate. While not bad for human consumption, it will definitely fuel algae growth. Also be sure to get the whole animal.. The whole shrimp with head and eyeballs. Not just the...

Why would you want to get rid of them?

My oldest pair is well over 15 and still laying down viable spawns about every 2 weeks. I know that the shed in Chicago has/had a maroon that is over 35. 35 is a pretty long time. Yes, not as long as the average human life but still long enough.

Enough to say that its not recommended. Especially in smaller tanks, and ESPECIALLY with the 2 species that you are thinking of. Fire clowns are the spawns of satin IME. Probably not as bad when they arent pared, but I gave away a good breeding pair because they were the most evil things I have...

Clowns only live a few years? Clowns are very territorial. Yes, their territory is usually very small, depending on the species (which species do you have?). Their territory could easily take up a 14 cube. Here territory has been invaded, so she needs to show who is boss again even though she...

Yeah, I am aware of what bleaching and expelling zooxanthellea and aware of calfo's take on anemones. if you look close at the pic, you can see brownish/tan. Yes, it could be bleached a little. Its never easy to tell from pictures, but if it were "super bleached", it would be more translucent.

Originally Posted by alix2.0 really? i thought sebaes could be whitish? the tips are still purple... Yes, they can. More of a cream/tan color but many consider them white. The anemone in question doesnt look bleached to me.

Cool. I used to have a chrystoperus that would dive its whole body in the mouth of the hadoni, disappear, and turn around in the mouth but I never seen it gape. When I see an anemone that has a mouth that gaped, its usually an anemone that isnt doing well and on its way out. Good luck
