woops... if you dont know what they are....
blue linkia
-at least 100-150 pounds of live rock
-SG of 1.026
-an established aquarium of at least 6 months
-perfect water chemistry
anenome
-SG of 1.026
-perfect wahter chemestry
-a whole lot of lighting (what lighting do you have?)
.....and there is probably a whole lot more that i forgot about and skipped on the requirements. Both phylum are not an impulse buy.
good luck

i have 75-100 lbs of liverock...I have a SG of 1.025 which is what was at the store tonight.. I specifically asked for the specs of the tank that the starfish was in!
and I acclimated him over a 5 hour period..... I do have perfect water conditions..and no my tank is not 6 months old but the man that I deal with ... ( i know some will say ohh lfs) he's not like that though, he has his own tanks at his house, all saltwater ect..and wants to know all of your water specs, ect... before selling to you... he knows what he's talkin about.. more so then any other lfs that i've ever been to.. i trust him fully, and he told me that i would be fine, as LONG as i acclimate slowly and safely. thanks for the concern though
