New Pink Skunks

[Gary Majchrzak]

One problem. LTA's are not like BTA's. Macrodactyla doreensis is not known to reproduce in captivity. Mine spawned. I don't know of anyone elses that spawned in captivity. You would need a male and female to reproduce these anemones or try halving one by cutting it. There's no guarantee either half would survive- I don't know of anyone doing this prop method to this particular anemone species.
I would contact one of the Rochester LFS's and have them order you one. JMO

I will have to do some research on the progation thread to see what the survival rate is after spliting. Good thing you mention something Gary because the first thing I would have done after I got it aclimated would have been to cut it in half. The lack of captive breeding probably explains why there not widely available. I checked with 2 places and they told me that those are not commonly on the wholesalers list. Even if they order it theres no gaurantee that will even get it. I will continue looking though, If it gets too hard to find I will just settle for a H crispa. My Skunks are staying quite close to each other and they "seem" like they are looking for a place to host.

Thanks

I would hold out for a nice purple Macrodactyla .
