I need to get a name of species for this nem. thanks for any help. I think that it might be bleached but not positive. it will be going under MH. in the second pic I circled a featherduster, the rock the nem is on is covered with them

Good light and feed. Silversides work well for food.

its currently sitting under PCs because I dont want to shock it. tomorrow I will start keeping it under halides, slowly upping the time. as for the silversides the nem is pretty small, so how should I feed it? BTW the spot it is in it does get a good amount of flow and as of right now it seems to be staying put, but we will see. the flow is not direct though as I have read thats not good.

how do we know for sure it's bleached, they come in a variety of color one of them being a whitish color?
just curious.

the nem has now moved just to the bottom of the piece of rock that it came on. is it the florida condylactus(sp?) that I gave the link for?
I guess since no one said what I should do about the silversides. I will just chop one up into about 1/4" pieces and soaked in it vitachem and then see if it takes it

i fed my old condi one to two times a week but you really need to be carefull because those things grow like crazy and can take over a tank in no time. i had a 30 gal and he was a monster. also if your not into feeding it silversides you might want to try zooplankton. its been recomended to me for my bta but i dunno if a condi would take but i see no reason why it wouldnt

its sitting about 8-10in under the surface right now. its in a 210. I found contridicting info on them tho. this site has them as peaceful and I found another site saying that they are fish eaters and that it won't host as well.

I wouldn't trust a condi with any of my clowns. They may occassionally host a clown, but they can/will also eat fish.

I know how im going to sound here, but I bought it to see if the fish in my tank would mess with it. so far everything has left it alone.
