New Red Carpet!!! Yeah Me!

Well, got rid of my two rbta's and my green ? carpet to get this guy. Hes about 15 - 16 inches expanded. Very nice deep red coloring. My camera sucks but hey its all i got. Just wanted to show it off. Pay no attention to the newly aquired and placed SPS frags. Makes my tank look to "new". Just changing things up a bit. My Latz LOVES this thing.

Its healthy, bought it from a guy who had it in his tank for the past year. It's been in my tank for about a week, seems happy. He got a little frisky at first, tried inflating and floating to a new spot, nothing a little rearranging didn't fix. And of course i had to move my vortech from blowing right on him. Didn't like that at all.

Beautiful anemone. You were determined to get a red anemone, and you got a great looking one there. Hopefully this guy wasn't insisting on the $300 that the LTA guy wanted. I'm sure this anemone will make a very long time pet for you.

Nope, not $300.00! Instead, more! But this is something i'm willing to pay the money for. Especially one that has proven to live in a tank.

GSMguy - You like the clown, i like your new avatar!!

Of course the Latz came down with Brook, just like everyone said he might. I guess its pretty normal for this species? Anyways, he's still doing great, and eating very well, but we are still setting up the hospital tank for him. Hope he survives the process. I'd hate to loose it, while trying to make it better.

lol. Well, as long as you're happy (and not completely broke) I'm glad for you. It is definitely a show stopper. And to think, it's just going to get bigger and more impressive. Congrats! Looks great with the blue Maxima. You have a very patriotic looking tank.

Good luck cartman treating your latz, I hope she gets better real soon!. How does she get along with your other clowns? I had contemplated keeping my old pair of percs but with only one RBTA I decided against it and found them a new home so she could rule the tank.
