Hi guys,
I have a few questions for you,
I have a 75-gallon fowler, set up for around 2 years, with live sand (course and fine).
I bought a Bulb anemone about 4 weeks ago (he's doing fine)
Though he didn’t seem to like the substrate ( I’m guessing the course).
So, over 3 to 4 hours he rolled around and somehow, he up turned a large shell I have in the tank, and firmly planted his foot inside it!!!!!
I read up on them, before I got one, and found that you should feed them
Twice a week, unless you have a clown!!!!!?????........
Well I have 3 clowns (2 Perculas and a Tomato) and all have hosted with him.
I hadn’t feed him anything, because of what I'd read….. Though a week ago,
I noticed his tendrils elongated, and from what I'd read, it is a sign that he is hungry.......So I feed him frozen Mysis shrimp 1/3 for him 1/3 for my Eel and the rest for the community fish. (so far twice, as in, every 3 days, except for all the community fish).
Is what I’m reading wrong? Or, do I still need to feed him anyway?
What is the advantage of having a clown host? How does he feed from the clown? Or does he?
How, in gods name, am I going to get him out of that shell. …Safely…?
A lot of questions I know, and I haven’t been on the board for a while (moved & new computer) I do remember a poster named "Thomas" I think that had so many bulbs he was trying to give them away (pick up only as I remember)..
If he or someone with the same expertise reads this I would much appreciate an answer........
Thanks in advance
Conor.
