Awesome project. How many are you going to prop before you start selling?
The red foot is sweet. Never seen that on a BBT.

 

[ProjectAnemone]

Six months or so is my best guess. The Redfoot started acting odd last night. It inflated up huge and looked like it would pop.

Really cool project, thanks for sharing with us.

Wow, that's like a anemone balloon! Did it go back to normal yet?

Unfortunately, the whole thing ruptured. I have never seen anything like it. It hung in for a few days, but ended up being flushed to prevent fouling the system.

Crazy! I've seen a starfish do that before but not an anemone. Sorry you lost such a nice nem.

 

[ProjectAnemone]

Always a gamble with a wild caught nem. This is one of the reasons I set up this project - tank raised nems. I hope, someday, to be able to supply wholesalers, the LFS market, and do 'group buys' for reef clubs.

As soon as my son's travel hockey season is over, playoffs are in two weeks, I will have free weekends. That means I will be able to put more effort into this project. I also get to teach the kids about small business concepts.
