Thanks Bang Guy, I'm afraid I ordered another one from this site which ships tomorrow!! :help: I'll do my best to keep them alive. I really love them though and since I can't have anemone's due to my lights I thought I had found something that looked just as great. Why do they die?? Is it lighting, diet, alk/calcium, ph.......what should I be on the lookout for? I try to keep all my parameters perfect and I am faithfull with my water changes every week.
