Nice report @OrionN ! Thanks for the share.

I am still in the market for the blue one, but it has not crossed my path yet. I got some people I trust who keep an eye out for me in the market.

Hope to find one this year :).

My Gigantea has decided to move a bit after 3 months sitting on the glas.
It now crawls like a snail... but the foot has been oval like this all day.

It has room.. so I let it be.

The spot where he was sitting, grew some algea. I was able to clean a bit, but in the bottom you can still see the algea.
The upper more clean part is where is crawled towards to.

That's funny how there is algae on the glass where it refuses to move from.

Uhh ahh.. There was more algea, but I cleaned it where I could.

The foot was round and algea grew through the glas behind it's foot. I was thinking about this because this would naturaly never happen. Ussualy Light won't reach between the footh and it's substrate. Since it was sitting on the glas there was light hitting the bottom of the footh and Algea could grow.

It wasn't bothered for 2/3 months and I don't know why he now started to move.. but I can not imagine he would like that algea. It's not natural.

But speaking of the little green damed devil.... It has moved.

It now almost fully left his spot and moved about 10cm upwards.

Bought 2 the rest are splits. 2-14. Hmmm. 3-4 years?
Wow, that is impressive in that amount of time. Did you do anything to get them to split like that, or just ran your tank normally?

Got back from 1 month vacation. My office staffs overfeed the tank badly. I did a lot of cleaning and did a 12 gal water change. Total volume is 35 gal I think. Tank is better but still has red slime.

Exactly what the title says! I've always adored anemones. Their beauty and diversity never ceases to amaze me! Show off your anemones here, I want to see them :star-struck:

Here is my Colorado Sunburst Bubble Tip, Freeda! She's free-da move anywhere she pleases. :grinning-squinting-face: She hangs out on the back of my aquascape (lame), and isn't hosting my clowns yet (fingers crossed), but here's to hoping!

Vacation worked out fine. Besides my green Haddoni which has his -off day-, everything looks happy.
(the green one is on the bottom right)

My Gigantea is still on the glass. Seems happy.
