I'm interested in the article or publication that proposes aggression with non clonal nems. I'm currenrly keeping four strains of bta and would like to learn more about it on a technical level.

Those dont look like hosting anemones to me.

In general i think hosting anemones dont fight within their own species. I have never seen two bubble tips go at it.

I know lots of people with mags with two different color bases living next to each other.

Proof

Proof

I think this is further proof that what i am dealing with is a bunch of clones. Also after seeing Check out this candy stripe. Obviously the result of a wild split and healing.

Also after seeing another picture i now can also identify the white dots on my mags. Butterflyfish bites. Im gonna see if i can copy a pic and post it here from the wild. Now i know why mags have such tough thick skin on their bases and also explain balling as a defense.

I am so jealous! I have 3 LFS looking for a red based mag for me for almost a year with no luck and you come up with 3 of them!
They look good and please continue to post pics and info on their progress.
Thanks for sharing!

reef vette,

Are they red based? they just look like brown bases but i know cameras can be tricky with colors. Also what does your LFS do to these things that the are soo bleached when they come in?

At least your giving them a good home!

 

[sonofgaladriel]

A fourth!?! Share the wealth man!

I beleive

They look red to me but i was told they will darker up to a Chestnut color with red in it like auburn.

The LFS doesnt really keep anemones, they order one for a customer and were mistaking sent 10. The guy knows i collect anemones so he asked me if i wanted to buy the 4 he had left. At first i declined and he sold 1 more.

I got rid of my blue haddoni and bought the other three. They all have white lines on them from a split and they all hang out pretty close. Im assuming they are all from the colony since they were collected together.

I will take more pics at lunch today when the lights are fully on.
