My fish and anemones are in temporary housing. They seem to be handling it alright.

What is in the media bag?? Did you put some of your substrate in there for bacteria benefits?

All the live rock from the display is enough, the media bag is the activated charcoal from the old tank, I just stuck it in there, will refill it w/fresh when I make the transfer.
Do you mean the rock snake in the big tank?? I am embarassed to say that is a one leg from a pair of pantyhose, lol it is live rock from old tank so I can easily remove it later. I admit it looks pretty wierd but...

LOL, I did not even notice the rock snake. I saw all of the larger rock work! After reading your post I went back and looked. Had a good laugh! Great idea!

Update, the tank is crystal clear today. Yesterday I added 32 0s. Super Bac Nitrifying Bacteria. I am showing .25 amonia, not nitrite or nitrate yet. I added a couple blue leg hermits.
I attached my viper to the bucket w/anemones. I think they are going to be there for a while, might as well make them comfortable. I observed suspicious behavior. At first thought it was eliminating but the foot is rather spread out hmmm.... hope it's not splitting again. Time will tell.

Well, I guess as long as I have to. I have great lighting, a good protien skimmer going, 2 circulating pumps and loads of live rock. I am keeping an eye on the perameters. When you consider the alternative, this is a better place for them. I am sure the splits are from the stress of it all, trying to do all I can to eleviate as much as I can. I am going to check magnesuim, CA and KH in a little while.
BTW hows your bta doing??

Just a suggestion instead of have two individual rock formations you might want to consider bridging across the top and making one formation

That is what I have heard but from my experience that has not happened. In the wild, they must host or die so you'd think they all would but I know conditions in captivity are different. 1 maroon, 3 ocellaris and 1 perc, all hosted some just took longer. It is a good thing that your are not right now, gives your anemone a chance to settle in, some clowns are pretty rough on them. What kind of clowns do have again? I can't remember.
