Here is a video at the 2 week mark of the tank. All the anemones had a little bit of acclimation to go through but they seem to be rebounding. Especially the tri color bta.

Maybe I am beating a deadhorse. But here is a video update for the tank. All the bta's look to be recovering well and the tank is taking shape. I moved my elegance coral into this tank because my picasso clown that it was hosting in my LPS tank was beating the heck out of it lately. And four days later is looking better. The clowns in this tank are too busy with all the other options to mess with it too bad. And put a Haddoni carpet in its place in the other tank. lol I guess that is proof that I am now a nem freak.

Sadly my tank took a major hit. I had a temp spike wipe out 5 of the bta's and a couple torches about 6 weeks ago. Three are fully recovered and one is hiding and completely bleached. The water has been pretty stable and the coraline has spread like wild fire. I took a pic of the tri color. I'll post a video of the whole tank this week. I need to scrape the glass first

very nice BTA. is it slightly bleached or is that the actual color?

That is it's color for the most part. It had heat stress so there is still some translucence to the green. But the green is almost as it normally is. The white you see is speckling on the oral disc. It's heavily speckled in a striated pattern. This nem came to me as a shrunk olive green with mustard yellow tips. It has really changed in the last 8 months. It is around 10-11 inches at full spread. I don't feed it very often but when I do it is a pig

So I'm thinking of upgrading the sump and building a 45 carpet tank and connecting them. But that will be a different thread I also installed a red sea wavemaster pro, and the slow wave action is really soothing to watch and the bta's really open up. They seem to like the rhythmic motion. I also installed a small hob refugium for flame algae.it looks pretty cool back there
