It has gotten too big so I let it get whatever it can on its own. I would prefer to get it out but so far I haven't figures out how I'm going to do it.

My Flower Anemone just took out my Powder Blue tang this past week. Fish was swimming around fine, eating good the night before, next day it appear a bit stunned and swam too slowly, too closely to the Flower. BANG!! Wrapped around the back half of the tang quicker then I thought it could move. Good bye sweet tang.

:furious::uzi: :blown: It's all I could think of.

It's time is coming though. I feel the need for an upgrade and the anemone will be taking a short ride to the local pet store.

That stinks Brian.
What does everyone's flower anemones look like?
Mine was a pretty white when I first got it, but it got rather ugly looking....it got a lot of brown on it. The brighness of the white also faded.

Sorry to hear that. I have no fish in my tank yet, but I would be extemely displeased to lose an expensive speciman like that.

Dennis, you should be able to peel the flower off if you want it out.

If I can get mine out that is where it will go too! Of course they won't give me anything for it but they will take it.

Mine isn't tooo bad but it is too big. It covers up about 8" of the bottom of my tank. Mine has a green color to it and has some white tenticles mixed in.

Mine is still white, but if it kills my fish, I'm not sure what color it will be

No can do. It's foot is way under a rock that is on the bottom.

I see. Mine is currenty at the top of the tank. It would be easily removed if I had to.

I just snapped a picture of mine. You can see the ugly brown in it. Too bad I just fed the tank.....I couldn't get a clear shot:

And here it was when I got it:

 

[drk70]

Mine looks very similar to yours Pat. I will try to steal the camera tonight and get a pic.

 

[bkelley02]

Mine's is actually still kind of pretty. It's still mostly yellow and white with some of that brown only in the center. Doesn't need to rely on the Zoo's in it as it's eating well on Tasty Tangs.

 

[bobt2]

mine is a pretty green, i feed it shrimp or fresh clam. the clams are free so thats what it gets the most of. ifeed it once every 10 days or so

Pat--in three months my flower coral from TBS has doubled in size and is also browning like yours. Is that a bad thing?

I don't think it's a bad thing. It's just the color it took on. It's thriving for you right? :lol:

Yeah--this thing gets any bigger it will encompass the entire 20g tank.

Here is it when I first got it in the first picture and the other two pictures are of it now.

Ok, just ordered the 2nd half of the package from Richard. Wheeee!

Also found two new critters last night.
The first one I've seen before, I just never knew it was alive. I always assumed it was part of the shadows in the rock itself from where it hides.

This is one. Any ideas?

The other is a really purple looking crab, isn't hairy and doesn't like to be photographed. That enough information to ID it?

 

[patsan]

Gorilla...get it out!

 

[elzool]

It's a gorilla?
Weird, it doesn't look anything like the other gorillas in the tank.
By that I mean, it's a different color, body shape and has no hair.

Is this just a different species of gorilla?
