Green one looks fantastic! The blue one was dead today when I got home from work, it expelled its guts I did feed the green one yesterday and it ate a few large mysis and a piece of krill.

 

[maxxII]

Sorry to hear about the blue one...but glad to hear the green one is doing well. Has either of he Clarkii's moved into it?

What did Dr Mac say about the blue one when you contacted them?

The Clarkii's have moved into the green one. Dr. Mac has been awesome as usual

Looks like I need to come over and take more pics.....

Hmmm, not a good sign today. The green carpet has shrunk in the last couple days. I have been feeding a piece of krill or scallop every couple days, not big pieces either. Any thoughts?

I have a small Clarkii that is hosting in the anemone and a larger Clarkii that is back and forth between this one and the M. Doreensis.

When you say shrunk....are you talking overall size or deflated?

Overall size appears much smaller.

Are any of your fish jamming their heads in the mouth? I think that is what killed my Gigantea. Naughty fish.

 

[Nanook]

The clownfish is in the anemone, but not jamming into the mouth.

What's the latest on the green one?

It is doing good! It was moving off the small piece of liverock and on to the large piece, it might have shrank to facilitate a safe move.

I got a blue Gigantea today that looks like it is doing good so far. I will get pics up later when Nick gets a chance.

Dave, how's the blue going for you? Also, how's the green liking his new place?

 

[Nanook]

The blue Gigantea looks great today, tight mouth, good color, nicely folded and inflated. The green shrunk down again last night before the lights went out and looked like it was moving a bit ??because of a slight adjustment in a powerhead which gave it a little more flow. It looked great yesterday.

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

That's good to hear.

Good luck, this process can be very grueling.

 

[Nanook]

Thanks, Randy! Yes, this has been a challenge.

Here are pics of both today:

That green one looks bad and likely not make it.
Best of luck

Dave,

At least your new blue has a closed mouth. Mine's still open. ugh.. I hope he's better tomorrow... My clowns have taken to the nem like white on rice (only fish in the tank)....

Dave,

Any updates on your blue?
