Am I the only one?

I really love my bubble coral. It's one of the few things I went out and bought for the tank all by myself. I actually stopped at a fish store in Rhode Island and picked it up. We have a beautiful pink bubble coral now in our tank, but I kept looking at it and thinking it definitely reminded me of something but I couldn't figure out what. Then it finally dawned on me. The darn thing looks like a cluster of testicles! And then when the tentacles come out, don't get me started. So now when I look at my bubble coral, that's what I see dang it all. So am I the only one that thinks that's what these look like? And no, I don't typically have a mind that goes to such places! Maybe I've watched one too many cats get neutered. Sigh, now I' ve gone and ruined it for myself.

LMAO!!!! I can tell what you are thinking, but if that were the case in actual life there would be one of 2 problems:
1. You would be branded as a side show freak
2. You would have the deepest voice out of anyone known to man!

LOL ... I've said similar things about certain corals. You'd hate to hear what I call bubbles when they're retracted

Yea, my wife says that when the bubble is closed up and you can see the mouth, "it looks like a vagina."

Lets see what else reminds us of the same...a clam, and just about every other coral. I like coral for the color they add to the tank...but don't sit and stare, that "mouth" has teeth all around it. Such was my discovery with the fox coral. Such is life.

LOL just like in the movie "Teeth"?

Does a coral moving from one place to another?

one more crack like that and you will have to feed that thing from now on. Anything to force you to put your hands in the tank and have the clowns nip you and have the skunk clean you.

You apparently failed to notice the new algea sheet clipped inside the tank today. That didn't get up and clip itself in there ya know. And the clowns left me alone. i did get a cool pic of the shrimp gorging on flakes sitting on the pump though>

If that algea clip did get up and put itself in the tank, then we have a larger problem than you sticking your hands in the tank.
It seems odd that the clowns attack me and not you. I am the one who feeds them 90% of the time. why are they biting me?

Maybe they weren't biting me because I decided to feed them their breakfast closer to the other side of the tank while I was putting the algea in the clip. Maybe they weren't biting me because they simply like me better than you. I never make their home fall down, repeatedly. Maybe they saw my little rolled up newspaper I was carrying and thought twice....

Well said!
For what it's worth, I get bit and my husband does not with our clowns. A few swats in their direction with the fishing net and chasing them around with it, made that stop real fast. Now they retreat to the anemone when I come near the tank.

I swat at the clowns with my fingers and hands when they are in the tank and that only provokes them further. Atleast they are going for the ruby in my ring as opposed to my fingers. I have been bit a few times, but mostly my ring takes all the punishment.
