Second half tonight. Thanks Richard!

I received the second half of my 100 gal package tonight. Left Tampa at 11:30, and arrived up here at 5 PM. Great rock, though I'm not too happy with my aquascaping yet, but I'll work on it. All the critters arrived safely, except for one shrimp who checked out. The other two seem fine.

Thanks for the anemone. Adds some color. I have a question regarding the anemone...I have placed it on the ledge of a rock, about halfway down. Is there an optimal place to put it? Will it move if it is not happy where it is? Pic below...just starting to open up a bit after about 30 minutes in the tank. What specifically is the green thing, also pictured below? Is this an anemone as well?

Thanks Richard...you guys rock.

Green thing is (I think) an Epycistis anemone- "Rock flower anemone".

Both anemones will move until they are happy with current flow and light. My EPI was happy for several weeks until I moved one of my returns, then he moved to a place where he was happier.
The epi will probably turn brown over time as it builds up a supply of zooplankton. Mine was snow white when it arrived, and over time got darker and darker. Now it is multiple shades of brown.

The purple one moved during the night to a neighboring rock. There seems to be more water flow where it is now. I assume they must prefer that?

I'm a little concerned as my nitrites (other thread) jumped from 0 to around 0.3 in the 12 hours since the second rock was added. Ammonia is around 0.3 as well. This can't be good for the anemones.

Here is a full tank shot 12 hours after the addition of the second shipment. The amenome, visible just right of center about a third of the way up, moved from just left of where it is now, up to the tip of that center peak, then down to its current spot. Who knows where it'll be in a few hours.
