Anemones for life
<center>its just a green one, nothing special like a red one, but thought id share it =D
got it from a local reefer who had it for almost 2 years, he said it got as big as 12-13''(wether its true or not, idk, but it has a prettty big foot) in diameter
now knowing that this anemone was gonna be super ****ed off, because the owner said it hadnt moved, or been touched in 2 years.. i knew it wasnt gonna look pretty trying to get it out
but we took our time... the way it looked hwen it came out kinda scared me a little bit, but i still took it
put it in a tuppaware container and home i went =P 20 minute drive, was looking worse thought it was gonna be like my first experienced when i had one shipped to me and it turned inside out, but sure enough when i got home and it stopped moving it closed right up, after 2 hrs of acclamating it, its mouth 85% closed, i ran into a problem, it attached its foot completely to the tuppaware container :hammer: doh!
so i didnt wanna stress it at all, with it being moved, and everything left it over night in the container sitting in the tank.. its now half out =D
i know how delicate they are, and the fact i was able to pick up a healthy one, i want to cause as little stress as possible to it, so however long it takes to get out of the container is how long it will take but its more then 80% out now =D
here's some pics oh an dits mouth is already 99% closed up tightly
Acclamation process (container in water, to keep temp, and i slowsly did 1/4 cup full water changes in it probably ever 15-20 minutes)
<br>
this morning 50/50 on sand/tupaware
<br>
Tightly Closed Mouth, i must be doing good?
