Seems to me Condy and fish = eaten fish. Looks real cool though, nice pictures.

 

[blownz281]

My Condy seems to be thriving and is getting pretty big after finding its sweet spot near the tank heater.Ijust hope it leaves my corals alone!

thats really kool and lucky from what they have tellen me. im buying a true peculiar this weekend to try my luck and see if it will host my cond. the people at the fish store i went to sead it a 50/50 chance it all depends on the fish if it wants to or not.

 

[whitebird]

the chromis don't host it they just swim in around the tenacles and from what i have read most clowns woun't host a giant condy we have 2 clarkies they will host the other type of condys as they do the other one we got the larger of the 2 clarkies will go rub it once in a while but shys away as this condy will try and wrap its tenacles around it so it just test it i think, the 2 cleaner shrimp that you see are still in the tank we had 3 maybe they seen what the condy did to the 3rd one and stay out of reach

Thats looks cool. Have you seen any of the chormis touch the tenacles of the anemone?
I bought a condi just for the looks and how cheap it was. A week later in my tank my maroon clown was hosting it. Of course I probably just got lucky.

 

[gil5280]

thats what im hoping for fishkid.

 

[whitebird]

no i've not seen the touch the tenacles this ones tenacles are farly long the longest ones are around 4 or 5" and realy a lot of room for them to swim through
