I'm not going to switch it though until the beginning of may because i'm at college right now so i don't want to put that responsibility on my parents. But when i do i'm sure you'll see my threads on here!

Have a bigger one but hard to get the pic...

I believe the anemone is a sebae, in poor health. Where do you get your live rock from?! I've got to go there - those hitchhikers sell for $50 each at the LFS here!

It was one of the first 50 posts in this thread, you said
"Please help me name the next 2 pics.. came with LR"
and showed 2 pictures, one of zoos and the other of an anemone. Someone suggested it was an aiptasia anemone, but I thought it looked more like a Sebae.

They are scavengers. No need to feed. They eat leftover food, detritus, etc. If you watch when you add a bunch of food to the tank, you should see little tentacles poking out from the liverock grabbing at stray flakes.

We were watching our crabs last night and saw that one was in a rock hole,,, and this morning same thing hasn't moved so this night we took the turkey baster and tried to help it out as we thought it was stuck... got it to move then all of a sudden our other crab we were looking for crawled out of the hole... Too funny the big bully was not letting him out...
