New BTA

[Kiel'thalin]

I don't know if any of you remember me posting my previous anemones:
1st one was a Sun Anemone (Stichodactyla helianthus) in which I returned because it ate one of my clowns He was returned promplty and replaced with a small Sebae. After about 3 weeks of being somewhat un-happy with this sebae, he was also returned. Now about another month or so, I picked up a BTA. I wake up this morning to this:

That just made my day.

Anyways, that Sun Anemone was sold to another individual, it ate his clowns also, stupid Fish Store. Luckily and happily I have switched fish stores for all my livestock needs. No more surprises. Thanks for looking.

lol.. why is it the fish stored fault that the anemone ate a fish? (which BTW happens in nature)

 

[dantodd]

He didn't say it was the LFS'es fault, only that he returned the anemone after it ate his fish.

Also, I'd be willing to bet there are no verified cases of Stichodactyla helianthus eating any amphiprion species in nature, but I could be wrong.

true^ but im sure is has happened.. also i was talking about the comment
"Anyways, that Sun Anemone was sold to another individual, it ate his clowns also, stupid Fish Store."
wats that got to do with the fish store? (basically im asking why is the fish store stupid?)

 

[dantodd]

missed the quote after the pic. I suspect he assumed the fish store didn't warn the new owner that atlantic anemones don't host clownfish since there are no clowns in the atlantic.

Correct, when I told the fish store that it ate my clown and it was the helianthus species that is known to eat clowns, they still sold to a person who had a clown. They could not believe this anemone would eat a clown, hence being ignorant in the fact the this anemone does eat clowns, stupid fish store. I can tell you I did not give them the pleasure of me buying another clown or any other livestock from them.

ahh ^ gotcha
nice anemone ... good luck with this one

The anemone looks bleached, but good luck with it.

 

[Kiel'thalin]

What do you mean bleached? It hasn't lost his zooxanthellae and he has a good brown color to him, I don't quite understand with the term bleached. I am pretty sure he is a in fine health.
On another note, my clowns still haven't left the anemone, will this continue, or will ever venture more than a body length away from it?

To me he seems to be white in the picture, could be the flash or something.
