What better than an anemone pic when your acros are peeved?

Momma CSB in my favorite color phase... Orange with bright yellow tips.

She's only half inflated right now since the lights just came on. She's about 12-13" now.

A question on nems for you...I bought my first bubble tip about two/three weeks ago. It just seems unhappy, walked around, hid under an overhang,stays balled up. It seems healthy, good color, some bubbles when open. It just does not seem to ever totally "display" itself since being in my tank. Was wide open in dealers tank about 18" under a single XR15(?). Is this just normal? I have it on the bottom of a standard 75 gal under T5's. Any advice would be appreciated.

This City is too yuppie to have Bud Siggy... It would have to be an IPA brewed with bacteria found at the top of Mt. Everest.

I've seen many BTAs hide for the first week as they acclimate to your lights and flow patterns. If they hid for longer that 2 weeks then it may be sick. I've have success with treating with Cipro for 10 days if that's the case.

Hey old friend! Thank you!

Hey Ty...where did you get your metal stand? I'm considering an upgrade to a similar sized tank as yours....but don't want a beefy wood stand.
Gig'ems (John) brother-in-law built it. Reach out to him but his brother may not be doing stands anymore.

Oh nooo what’s going on with your acros?
Something weird was going on right before I left for vacation of course. I came back to 4 dead colonies and a couple of dead frags. I'm trying to right the ship now and figure out what happened. I'll update everyone once things start looking better and I figure out what the heck happened.
