Advanced Bewilderment
After a diving vacation to the Philippines, I became entranced with the relationships between anemones and shrimps. Intially I thought I'd try a Crytptodendrum adheaesvum (Pizza) as I saw an array of color morphs and they always had various species of shrimps associated with them. After discussing it with Chuck, he suggested a Sebae instead, as they also host shrimps (more than any other anemone is what I think he said) and they are a bit more available, though still difficult. I also saw many pairs of pink skunks in them, and they would often share with shrimps and crabs, something I never saw a tomato colony do!
Anyway, I have a 150, set up for 4 years, with a BTA/occellaris pair on one end, so I got a pair of pink skunks and the sebae from Vivid Aquariums. I quarantined them for only 4 days, as I was very paranoid about the need for light and the QT only had 2-36W PC's. The Sebae anchored to a rock with a hole in it selected for the purpose, and one clown took to the sebae immediately in QT. The larger skunk is still hanging around the top of the tank but is also looking at a frogspawn. Hopefully she'll wise up.
