Thanks, Chubosco. I love the interactions between the anemone and the clown. So I had to get one, but was told about how much they move. So I figured I'd get one before I got anything else and let him settle down. But they are so frustrating to keep. One second they're here, another...

Thanks guys. Do any of you guys have coral and if so how do they all do living together in the tank? Now I knew that anemone's could be a bit of a problem w/ coral so that is why I decided to get the anemone first, let him settle down, before I got any coral and then just build my reef around...

Damn. Weeks? That really sucks. And I'm guessing that there's no way to lure him back out into the open? I wonder what would compel it to go into the caves in the rocks like that. I should have known that this anemone would give me trouble. My wife picked it out. :lol:

Thanks. You've given me a little more comfort. How long can they hide like this?

Last night once the moon light turned on, my new 2 day old anemone began to move from it's perch on a ledge down the rocks. It was not very high up in the tank. About half way and not in any direct flow. He then began to move into one of the caves in the rocks. Now I figured, once he got in...

Thanks. I actually got a reply from the LFS. They told me it's normal. It's how they excrete waste they said. If it was really dying, they would lie flat and be jello-like. So curling up in a ball is a good thing. I know it's alive. Good thing too. The intereraction between the clown...

I bought 2 anenome a couple days ago. One looks great and has a great relationship w/ my clown. This morning, I found my green bulb anenome curled up into a ball. Is this normal? I don't think it is due to water quality since the other is fine and they both came from the same tank. Is this...

Oh...I also got a blue tang. They really go downtown on the algae also.

I have just recently set up my new tank too and it has completed the cycle. I had the same problem w/ the brown algae all over my rocks. I just went and bought a cleaner crew and they really went to work on all the algae on the glass as well as the rocks. I got 2 emerald crabs, 6 hermits, and...

Thanks. I didn't believe him either. But that's what he told me. Or maybe that it was preferrable not to have them together. But I'll put them together. And per your advice, I won't put leathers. Good thing I don't really like them anyways.

I am a newbie and have been doing a lot of research. My 80 gallon tank will arrive next monday. I have MH, sump/protein skimmer on bottom, built-in overflow. I have many questions, most of which have been answered in the forums and articles I've read. But one thing I have heard from someone...
