Clowns, anemone, and others

[Musho3210]

Just some pictures, today marks the 1 week mark of the anemone, the tank is about 7 months old. So far the clowns like the hammer coral more than the anemone.... Its a RBTA, someone in my LRC had theirs split so she sold me this one.

This picture was day 2 of it being in my tank:

Its gotten much nicer, ive fed it twice, the first time was just a small piece of krill to see if the tentacles would take it, the second time was a small scallop cut, it gobbled that up fast.

No, it switches back and forth, sometimes very bubbled, sometimes no bubbles at all. The one with straight tentacles was when it was looking pretty down with a cut in its foot, since then the cut has healed and the bubbles have returned.

Lighting is 250 watt metal halide, just switched the bulb yesterday, the woman had i think 6 T5's. The lighting is pretty similar I'd say.

Very nice, I don't get the "creepy" comment. Your rbta is beautiful, is that a yellow watchman goby? I think mine is my favorite fish. It took my ocellaris pair a year to switch from my mushrooms to the rbta, it'll happen in time. : )

The first pic is cool and the second where it looks like noodles is kinda freaky looking.

LOL I'm new to the hobby, don't mind me

Yeah its a YWG, ive had it for about a year and a half, id guess that its 2 years old now, it still hides most of the time, but its at its entrance of its cave every once and a while, waiting for me to feed the tank.

Very nice RBTA and tank in general. Your ocellaris have the same coloration as mine, the really deep orange. So much prettier than the faded looking orange you sometimes see in that species. How many gallons is your tank, sorry if you mentioned already, but I didn't see it anywhere.

 

[Musho3210]

Its a 65 gallon + 20 gallon long sump.

Thank you, again very nice setup. I'll bet those ocellaris with take the RBTA as a host. And, that RBTA will get big and split for you--that's my forecast;-).
