Are those saddle butterflies supposed to eat majano's? i didnt know there was a natural predetor of those ones. On the aipastia, i say some of us get together in the club and order some berghii nudibranch's and just pass them around after they finish the job on the aipastia. They arent too bad pricing wise and no lfs in town seems to be able to get them.... afaik and imo copperbands do not it majano, aiptasia yea, majano no.

I've kept anemone's my entire length i have been in the hobby, they are a big reason i got into this hobby and i have spent countless hours reading and learning about them lol. Currently i have a Merten's sea anemone, and a h. crispa. I have had the merten's a few months, since late Dec, and the crispa going on three years. Up until about a month ago i had kept a Magnifica anemone for 5 yrs but my water got tweaked by something and i lost it unfortunately. On the topic of sebae's--h. crispa, i would definitely disagree on the level of difficulty some have stated. They generally come in bleached because they don't ship well. These ones require real stable water parameters and frequent feedings because they don't have zooanthellae to provide them with food from the light. Regaining that can be quite a challenge and that's why they are difficult to keep imo. If you find a healthy one that's not bleached out and have high light and medium-high flow they are relatively easy to keep. Still not easy to keep as a e. quadricolor(bta). Which will except any decent amount of lighting and no real preference to flow. Also it should be mentioned that not all host anemone's split in captivity, or in nature afaik. Only bta's and very rarely magnifica's have been none to split. Long tentacle's, Crispa's, Haddoni, and anything else less common have not been known to split in captivity. fwiw austin

Something got into my house that polluted my tanks. i am not sure as to what it was but i lost a bunch of corals and two of my anemones. Both of which i have had for five and six years. Supposedly it was insectiside's or something was sprayed in the feild behind my house but i have no idea besides that.

Reefgeek, They like really High light, random High flow. If you put them on a rock stucture at the top of a tower, where they can't physically touch any of the glass or sides they generally don't move alot ime. They are beautiful but they get huge, mine was almost 3 ft before i lost it.

Definitly h. crispa.

they are 65 and absolutely beautiful.

You have pm jordan.

Cant help you on the second two. First appears to be h. crispa but i can't be certain without a picture of the underside of the anemone.

I asked him what aquarium it was lol. If he gives a different name then reefgeek got i will get a hold of them and ask...my money is on bs though lol. I'll put up 5 zoo's lol.

Seconding what reefgeek said, i smell bs. If he took that clear of a picture, on her spotless sand, don't you think he would have took at least one picture once they caught it, or a picture of catching it, something. Its a hoax to me, almost to get free donations cause of the "losses" she encountered because of the "ink". I am a pessimist by nature so i could be wrong but it just doesn't add up...

Looking good jordan! Btw, did you get my pm from last night?

Thats not a bristle worm. Don't know what it is, but its not a bristle worm.

So feeding time today the clowns posed so i decided to take out the camera. The mouth is only open on the anemone because it was eating the formula pellets i was feeding so don't worry lol. Some updated pics

I know your in salem but saltwater-fantaseas has a mated pair of wc percula's for sale. The male of which appears to be onyx variety. If i had room or another tank i would buy them as they are beautiful...I am actually thinking of setting up another tank for them lol. They are not bad pricewise either.

I'm in vancouver as well as a few other people...no one real close to you. Isnt lynwood alot closer to seattle than pdx? if so you have a big seattle club up there, dont remember the site but one of these guys im sure knows it.

All the pure black ocellaris are from darwin island in australia. They all start out with orange on them and darken as they mature and get older. Most of these fish that are available for purchase will have the orange on they're nose because they are so young. But once they mature ime and imo they will be all black. The most recent one i bought took about a month and a half to lose its black nose.

Interested in some of your stuff, ever make it up to the pdx area?

Oic, that makes way more sense lol. I always wondered where he(you) went and why he wasnt on this site lol.

Did i miss something? Wasn't ranran on our forums awhile ago? or something, i remember him, kinda, all i saw him doing was making fun of cquariums bs....

That is a amazing store, and those pictures on the first couple of pages are amazing.

I would kill for that clownfish^

I have b&w ocellaris and orange ocellaris plus a hippo tang and a small goby i could send you if those interest you at all, i got the hippo from you as a bonus lol... Interested in any anemone pictures? or any other inverts?

Holly: The effect of the sea lions on the salmon is unbelievable. I fish for salmon on the mouth of the Columbia almost every other weekend of july and august...Depending on the fish run. While doing this we gathered that every 4 fish we caught had a bite of it taken out by sea lion. every 10 or so would get lost due to a sea lion taking the fish and snapping the fishing line. One day we even had one following us, stealing all the bait and any fish we tried to catch, nothing we did could scare it away, it would come right up to the boat, our blow horn, throwing things at it, yelling, trying to run it over(which is impossible to do on purpose). Its amazing how many there are. I believe something needs to be done, whether letting the native American's hunt them, or regular people, or herding killer whales up here. Anything. I am not a scientist but thats what i have gathered over the past 4 years fishing on our coast... And to whoever asked the question about what fish they pay you to catch and kill, its called a squaw fish (sp). They eat salmon babies and a number of other of things and are a big pest. fwiw austin

Its some kind of nudibranch, Beyond that i cant really tell you. All nudibranchh's have a specified diet i.e they generally eat one kind of thing. So, if you have corals, i would be wary, alot of them are coral eaters. I would just keep a close watch on your inhabitants and if something starts looking irritated or you start seeing it hanging out on a certain coral or something it may be a hint. fwiw austin

Wierd...Where did my pictures go? Anyways, green and orange both gone. Sebae anemone left, if anyone is interested i will get another picture.
