New Addition to Reef

Reefneck · 12-06-2005, 01:46 PM

I couldn't resist! I wanted to let my wife and kids enjoy the fun of watching a clownfish play in his anemone.

I went and picked up a beautiful Grren Bubble Tip Anemone from a friend today. I did not even get my hand out of the tank after placing it and my Maroon clown was in heaven! He went immediately to it and only comes out for a minute or so then goes right back even 2 hours later.

I feel like I made his day.

I have been very successful with my soft corals and the 2 small anemones that came in on some live rock so I felt comfortable getting this one since I have zero losses other than 3 Damsels during the cycle which is long over now.

The 29G tank has a Protein Skimmer running on it and some excellent lighting too so fingers crossed that my track record holds up.

Also picked up a beautiful Neon Velvet Damsel. It's very small as are the other 3 fish I have and fit right in with no fighting at all between them. I will post some pics of him once he settles in and swims out front more.

For now, Here is a pic of my Maroon Clown in Clownfish heaven. This was taken less than 5 minutes after putting the Anemone in the tank.

Awww! That's so cute!! He looks so happy! Your anemone is nice looking, too, lol...

Wow, that was fast for the clownfish. hmm tryin to think if 130w will do it for the anemone or not. have no clue, hope it does! watch for it not to get sucked into anything, some of them tentacles like to wonder on anemones and it aint pretty sight when it happens

Thanks....Yea the BTA's don't require the kind of light alot of others do like MH lights. They do well with 4 watts per gallon or more which I have. Did alot of research before taking him in. Now if I can just get him off the front glass he climbed!!
