"sun anemone"? from fishtown / bali

[Corpus Callosum]

screw it stop encouraging me.. im going to cut this babe in a day or two.

 

[cb747]

slice and dice baby!

 

[Zoa]

I do agree with jnfallon on the concept of being bound ethically to care for something that may not be reef safe or go with the community ine is trying to keep. This may be another reason why people have multiple fish tanks!

 

[Corpus Callosum]

she has been slit in half.

the clowns stopped hosting as they noticed the damage.

both halfs seem to be ok and expanding with arecovering moouth.

blood and water spilled everywhere, i used a razorblade. good stuf.

 

[jnfallon]

Blood? They have blood? Pics?

 

[cb747]

Blood? You sure its not dyed?

 

[Corpus Callosum]

well it looked like blood because her foot was red but it was all over the place and water from the internals splashed in my face hardcore.

 

[Corpus Callosum]

also my LFS just said they would buy these guys from me for 5 bucks a piece (while they sell them for 10-20 usually).

 

[Corpus Callosum]

oh and the water that splashed / drained from the internets was clear NOT red. just the fleshy stuff was red and stained red.

 

[cb747]

When i cut my RBTAs the only thing that came out was water and nothing else. Maybe im misunderstanding you?

 

[jnfallon]

Internets? Lol. You sound like our dear president.

 

[cb747]

LOL

 

[Corpus Callosum]

well like.. nothing came out other than water.. but the foot was a fleshy red color so it stained my towel lol.. i sort of got hungry like a vampire also but.. um nevermind..

 

[cb747]

Nope dont want to know. The stain on the towel does make me wonder if it might be dyed. I cut mine on a styro box cover and there was nothing of any color of anything when i was finished and i did 3 in a row.

 

[Corpus Callosum]

upon careful inspection the stain was actually pieces of flesh left on the towel.. interesting observation though you may be right, we'll see as it recovers.

I also got a 8" electric green carpet anemone today for 50 bucks.. I'm not going to keep it just cut it up once this malu recovers. chris would you want this 8" anemone for a frag of your red one? LOL

 

[cb747]

LOL And you were the one that told Ray to write fool on the tank. Atleast i think it was you. I already bought and sliced a green carpet. The results so far look promising. Im one step ahead of you

 

[Corpus Callosum]

yes it was me i asked him if i could borrow a market because I was going to write 'sold to a fool' below the red anemone label.

grats chris.. post some pics from the green carpet.

my sun anemone has recovered excellently already.

put me in line for red carpet frags (have i said this already? LOL)

 

[jnfallon]

Hah, you guys are OUT OF CONTROL!!!

Are the carpets able to be handled bare-handed? How is the sting? Noticable?

Chris, I want a pice too.

 

[Corpus Callosum]

carpet stings are reportedly among the worst stings from anemones, but i personally dont give a crap about risks (near death risk? bah sign me up!) so I usually handle them from the base rather than the top.

only time you may need to deal with the tentacles is when cutting them which you could use latex gloves.

 

[cb747]

Ive had no problems previously and currently with carpets. One day itll bite me in the butt but i never use gloves which i know i should. Ill post pics after i know its a sucess.
