If i touch it, it retracts into itself pretty quick. It doesn't seem to be as sticky as the ball anemones which grab onto my finger for a second before retracting.
After playing with the settings on my camera, this is what I came up with. Note how the tentacles taper to a sharp tip. From what I can find via google image search, majano anemones have more of a rounded tip on their tentacles. From what I can tell, this is the only 1 of this particular type of...
What I would do is put ice in your tank 1st to slowly cool it down closer to the water temp outside. This will help ease the transition by making it not as sudden of a temperature drop. Bluegills are extremely hardy, so they will be fine as long as the change isn't too sudden.
I am about 99% certain it is not aiptasia. It looks like a rock flower anemone to me. Thoughts?
Sorry about the pics being a little fuzzy. My camera's automatic focus seems to always focus on everything around what I want it to focus on.
I plan on adding a couple of mushrooms soon. Not sure yet if I am going to do any more than just the mushrooms. I do have 2 different kinds of coral which hitchiked on the live rock. I'll take pics and post later.
Yep that's the one. I guess its a good thing that particular rock is small and on top of the structure. Won't be hard to remove it from the tank to kill the aiptasia.
That would be correct. When would be a good time to add snails? My water parameters prior to water change this morning were 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20 nitrate.
Just finished acclimating 5 hermits which I just picked up at the LFS. They have been in the tank less than 5 minutes and 1 has already switched to one of the extra shells I put in. LOL
Next I will be ordering the 29G cleaner package from Reefcleaners. Is it a good idea to add the snails right...
I am setting up a 29 gallon saltwater tank. This will be my 1st. My live rock will be here later today. For stock I am thinking 10 hermit crabs and 2 ocellaris clownfish. Is that too much? I would also like to sadd a small starfish, I was thinking of a Fromia milleporella. Would this work?

I have 2 RES that were basically dumped on me about a year ago, along with their 75 gallon tank. Both are females, 1 is about 11 inches head to tail and the other is about 6. The big one will on occasion chase after and nip at the little one, but I never saw any contact until today when the big...
Got home from work tonight and noticed one of my Amanos in my 55 is berried. Is there a chance of getting any live baby shrimps? What would I have to do to help hatch the eggs and raise the young?
Edit: title is supposed to say amano shrimp. Stupid iPad spell check...
