Morning all. 1.5 weeks post knee surgery.

Good morning dear!
The pink RFA and the white skirt both planted their foot last night. All 7 of the new ones stuck real close to each other... I mean REAL close. Two of them are so close they make a circle, but each compromises a half of the circle. I'll get a pic after work.

What are the downsides to these if any?

I wonder what type of shrimp the little monster was. The 6 I had put in the clinics tank were captive bred peppermint ones. That tank is full of plate corals.

Ya, I have two in mine that I forgot I had that must have been in my rock when I transferred it to the new tank. I only see them when lights are off. I don’t have any aptasia and Tom won’t sell me any and don’t bother anything.

Shrimp are notional. Mine ate ninety percent of the Aiptasia then they figured out that hammer corals and acans were similar and closer. Shrimp, any shrimp, or crab, should always be considered a 'with caution' add to a reef tank. The only safe add for Aiptasia is Berghia because they don't eat anything else. Shrimp are omnivores.

There's not really a downside in my opinion. Once they find a spot they are happy in they don't move around like other anemones do.

We might be able to work a deal.

Nobody tell John but I bought 2 Peppermint shrimp yesterday. Unfortunately after getting home I'm fairly convinced they're Ankeri or Bogessi which isn't the end of the world.

After about an hour, one was over actively devouring a small patch of Aiptasia so there is that confirmation.

I wouldn't think of ratting you out.

So not the ones I hear people saying they are multiplying? Or eating healthy fish? Sounds great.

Exactly they are the best nems you can have in my opinion

Good morning Shelley.
It appears the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet...

You will want more to complete your "garden"!

That is true but if it really a downside considering how pretty they are?

No, but I was trying to think of a downside to a rock nem....

Lysmata bogghessi are actually my first choice for Peppermints.

I really miss the ones I lost when my pico tank crashed especially the beautiful purple one I had.

 

[code4]

Wait... I'm supposed to work?

Yeah, it's going good. Meeting with regulatory agencies and engineering firms is lots of fun.

As far as hunting, nothing until August when archery deer opens. Then December for my elk tag.

My husband was lucky enough to get a buffalo tag for Yellow Stone about 15 years ago. He doesn't hunt anymore. To busy now and both knees replaced.

Good morning Shelley.

She crashed hard after doing PT and a little walk. It's her second knee surgery and she is doing well
