Thanks

The camera is nothing special just a canon HD video camera the cheap model. I used a magnifying glass infront of it though :lolspin:

How are they on allelopathy? I have mainly softies and LPS as I am trying to create a patch reef type environment. I also have some lagoonal Montiporas. I have been researching these for a bit. I am thinking of getting one tomorrow. Mostly I hear that they can even get along with other anemones (I have a recovering Sebae). I want to find out what your experiences have been.

I have several BTA, how do these get along? Do they split much?

I've had btas with minis and had no problem.Maxi minis don't split but the minis will split.

Were they touching? Can you define what you mean a bit more please, I'm getting the impression they can come in contact with each other and not sting.

You are correct, Megan... bta and tapetum can touch directly without harming one another

I hope so, I think mine might be a mini. I didn't realise there were two types until post-purchase! I've also been calling them Mini Maxi's :lolspin:

A few people jumped onto the Maxi Mini craze in Australia but they are expensive for us so a lot of us don't know much about them. I didn't realise they may split on their own either which is also really good news.

What size are yours? Mine get about 3-4" before splitting and it takes a while, but I've seen similar looking 1" ones that stay small... I prefer the bigger ones
