I am not familiar with the dimension of a 44 pentagon, but if there is room for a mag, and if you can stack the rock properly, it sounds like everything could work

I agree that there is a significant loss of zooxanthallea (bleached). It can recover. Feed it well with small pieces of food and it should regain color. I have seeen many bleached anemones used in advertizing. Even on what I consider on of the best clown/anemone books out there (Fauntin/Allen...

a BTA is not a "natural" host for percs, but I have seen hundreds of percs accept a BTA as their host. Most of the nautral hosts for percs are a difficult anemone to keep (S.gigantea, H.magnifica) whereas a BTA is considered one of the easiest to keep. As for percs being aggressive.. Some can...

Sorry Jimmy, I didnt pay attention close enough.. From this pic I would say that you have an H. aurora. not a starving M.doreensis ( AKA LTA). This pic shows a little better detail that the first one you posted. They may be hard to see, but if you can, see if there is verrucae on the upper part...

the "natural" host is an H.magnifica. (H.mag is one of the most difficult anemones to keep happy. They need a lot of light and a ton of flow.. ) They would likely accept a BTA as a host as well. I cant comment on the temperment

The Shed Aquaium in Chicago has/had a maroon that is/was over 30 years.

ritteri/H.magnifica, is one of the most difficult anemones to keep. They require intense lighting (Strong halides) and A LOT. They will usually perch themselves on the highest rock. If they receive enough light and enough flow, they can easily reach 3 foot in diameter. How big is your tank? What...

nigripes are one of my favorites, but they are tough shippers/acclimaters. Many recommend baths and dips (formalin) upon arrival

Anemones "purge" themselves of the old water while aclimating to your water. Yes its normal

Originally Posted by trigger11 I finally have gotten my first anemone. I'm so excited! He also came with a tomato clownfish. I named the clown Mator like the one truck from the movie Cars. I was told this is a BTA anemone. I wish I could tell the difference between the BTA's and LTA's. One...

Originally Posted by ViPeR_930 I'd say it's a majano anemone. I agree, but its seems a little large compared to most majanos. Maybe its reaching for more light and appearing larger than it is

I dont keep maroons, but I do know thatthey can be brutal on anemones. Many people recommend an anemone 3X the sixe of the clown. I agree with Petjunkie.. Go at least 2x as large

First I would recommend getting Joyce wilkersons book "clownfishes". Then get a start on culturing rotifers. You will need a seperate tank to raise the larva in. I use 5 gallon tanks. There is now way that you can keep the rotifer densities up in a hang on tank, nor could you keep the rotifers...

I also like skunks because they are a little less common, but not too difficult to obtain. My skunks have finally started spawning regularly.

bulbs and ballast can also make a difference.

My reply RE: blind leading the blind, didnt come off the way I intended it. ( I guess I didnt have enough coffee yet ) I wasnt trying to discredit anyone but often post are replyed to with uncertain answers. Those uncertain answers are usually coming from someone that just want tho help...

Wow, I dont even know where to begin.. Ill start by saying that that LTA is also starving. Note the somewhat lack of tentacles and even more so the length of the tentacles. It is slowly withering away. It can take quite a few months (maybe a year+)for them to starve to death. Yes, I have seen...

Originally Posted by BexleyFish Here is a pic of my GBTA. I am just curious if the white color on the base where the tips come off is bad. It stays open almost all the time, water params are fine, i have a 65W 50/50 PC but i dont think its the lighting other wise it would move from the bottom...
