Great Job Kevin. It is nice to see something besides the SPS tanks we tend to see. Also it is great to see a fellow law man, laying down the law.

Kevin,
I have two large long tentacle anemones that co-existed nicely side by side for a long time. Recently, I noticed that one of the anemones had begun pulling off the tentacles of the other one. Any ideas on why they would be fine for a long time and suddenly begin fighting? I have removed one of the anemones from the tank. But, I'd like to have them back together. Any ideas on why they would be fine for a long time and suddenly begin fighting? Any thoughts or tips are appreciated. |

Thanks guys!
Salty, Two anemones of the same species, and one was "pulling the tentacles off" the other one? That doesn't sound right. Did you actually see tentacles actually pulled off, or did you see tentacle bits (something else might be responsible, like a clownfish), or just a lack of tentacles on one side of one of the anemones (anemones can pull their own tentacles in for a variety of reasons)? Kevin

Nice tank. I have found that a disposable plastic spoons work well for removing BTA's from rock work. They are flexable enough to get in the cracks, thin enough to gut under them and soft enough to not cut them.

I HAVE A ROSE BUBBLE TIP FOR 3 YEARS IN THE SAME BARNACLE SHELL I PUT IT IN. I HAVE 175 METAL HALIDES GOOD WATER FLOW AND HOPEFULLY A MATED PAIR OF GOLD STRIPE MARROONS IN A 155 GALLON TANK. MY 1ST QUESTION IS MY ANENOME NEVER SPLIT AND THOUGH CHANGES SHAPE FROM TIME TO TIME NEVER REALLY GROWS IT IS DOING GREAT BUT I AM AFRAID TO DO ANY STIMULATION TO GET IT TO SPLIT .SHOULD I JUST KEEP WAITING OR DO I NEED ANOTHER ANENOME ADDED? ALSO HOW DO YOU GET THE CLOWNS TO MATE THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR AT LEAST 5 MONTHS AND THE ORIG CLOWN IS 4 YEARS IN THE TANK AND MUST BE FEMALE AND THE NEW CLOWN WAS PURCHASED SMALL AND THEY SEEM TO BE TOGETHER ALOT. BY THE WAY THANK YOU FOR A VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE .

Cool, man. Do your clowns have a favorite clone, or do they just hopscotch around all of them?

Do you feed your anemone? If not, start feeding it 2-3 times a week with a small portion of meaty food (a couple of krill, or 1/4-1/2" piece of fresh table shrimp). It should then begin to grow. IF it's a splitter, it will eventually split.
As for your clowns, it took my first GSM pairing 18 months together before they started spawning (second pair took 9 months), so if they are happy together, I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep them well fed with a variety of food and they will spawn eventually. Kevin

If they are different species, does this make more sense and can anything be done to make them get along? |

Nice tank...it's great to see a species-devoted tank. Also, goes to show that you don't necessarily need MH to keep certain anemones. I'm a bit surprised that you need a chiller with VHO. Do the VHO's add that much heat to your system?
