Beautiful. I thought mertens like to stretch out on the rock rather than folding up like gig and mag

Just crazy. These things aren't that impossible to find. I think they are an easier find than a nice green gig.

Some people have more money than what they know to do with.

Just an update nem is good not sick just had to move him out of the 300 gallon. I think there was too much flow in there for him he kept moving and would not pizza out. I put him inside of a 70 gallon hex I think that's how many gallons it is lol, but he's already looking way better here is a pic of when I first moved him

Very nice anemone. Good luck with him. Don't have any first hand experience to offer.

 

[OrionN]

How many species of anemone in that last picture? 4 or 5?
Sorry we infected you with the ICAD (incurable anemone disease). You got it bad.

 

[WatDatThing]

LOL.... I'm​ an ICAD carrier then.

All beautiful anemones too.

What I've seen in my tanks happen, different anemones can turn on or off their stings. There was a day (months/years) when my mertens and gig would brush up against each other all day long and wouldn't react. In the last month, they've began fighting big time, burning the gig's tents at all contact areas, and then the mertens has decided (slowly) to start moving. Somewhat stressful to think about placement of a 2' anemone that moves when real estate is limited.

 

[nemguy]

I hear you on that! Taylor t and thanks guys and yeah there's a lot in there it's just a holding tank before they go into my larger tank and I just picked up 2 new gigs and a mag for $190 today they have another mertans I'm prob going to pick up this week
