I got two new Rose Bubble Tip Anemones on 6/6/06 from a reefer up in Wonder Lake who had a split. Awesome buy!

This is when I first put them in the tank after a three hour drip acclimation. I work at a hospital and have some of those adjustable IV lines for drip acclimation. Works like a charm!

This is the little one. I named him Brain because he was the first one to eat a silverside and the first one to go wandering off. I joked that he was on the move to take over the tank.
Here he is enjoying his first meal.

I gave Pinky a silverside fish head and he didn't eat it.

When I came home from work on the 8th Pinky had decided to follow Brains lead and move around.
*sighs* I guess it would be too much to hope that they would have stayed put.
As long as they're happy.
I tried feeding Pinky again. I'm not sure if he ate or not. I think he did.

He just had to figure out how to get it into his mouth.

At this point Brain is nowhere to be seen. He went around to the back of the rock, but he came out again later and went back to his starting point.
Pinky has actually made it all the way into the corner and has stayed put for 24 hours. He climbed up into the clownfishes favorite corner, so they're all ****ed off because they haven't learned how to host in him. I guess he figured if the clownfish weren't going to come to him, he would go to the clownfish. :)

I'll get some more pictures soon of his (hopefully) final happy place.
