It's like my kids' growth chart, every year I move up the markers.

I feed mine Seafood. What ever my wife brough home for us to eat. She cut a portion for the anemones. I cube them to about 1 cm cube and freeze them in a ziplock back. Then one or two cube per anemone every 2 days. That is a lot of feeding and my anemone goes from 6 inches to 18 inches in less than a year. They don't seem to grow much more after 18 inches. I hope they are getting ready to spawn.

Three more from Petco last week, under treatment

Dude! what kind of macroalgae is that?! I've NEVER EVER seen that!!!!!! where did you get it???? please PM me. gotta figure out how and where to get that.

 

[ptr13]

it is in the caulerpa mexicana, I think. I got it from a fellow reefer and it is growing like crazy, had to dump a bag full out yesterday.

That is C. taxifolia. The same species that's taking over the Mediterranean, and tried to take over the coast of California. Check your local and import laws before obtaining this species. What ever you do, don't let this algae loose in the wild.

- ...global warming raising temps, melting icecaps salt/fresh line creeping further up inland ==:sad2: good grief not another! They already have their poster children zebra mussels, jumping asian carp, lampreys and Jeremy Wade (after the road trippin bull shark, poor sharky) :facepalm:

Been in my tank ~4 months. Previous owner had it 5 years. Seamless transfer. So much easier to start with a healthy one.:thumbsup:

Below are two of my Gigantea. One is a multicolored but mostly green and one is a purple Gigantea. I have been feeding them and they have exploded. One is 21-22 inches with measurement today.

saltwaterguy718,
Your neon green Gigantea is going to be a special anemone. Good luck with him.

Can we see it without the actinic lights?

Which one?
Mine is under Radion Gen 2. The green natural setting. At the time, it is at 100% or close to it.
