That box is better than a lot of tanks I’ve seen! Very nice collection!

 

[Ocellaris123]

Haha thanks, luckily they seem to be commingling fine for now

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Those are some large btas!

Exactly

 

[slingfox]

Do you plan to let them loose anytime in the future?

 

[Ocellaris123]

Not at the moment , chicago are the yellow, colorados red and holy grail is the green

 

[Vitabella]

Great color contrast

 

[Ocellaris123]

I have another box with different morphs but not as filled out

 

[Ocellaris123]

Fresh pic this am, im enjoying these more than my gigs and haddonis. Alot less stress

 

[Ocellaris123]

Some purple btas with pink and yellow tips. These are in another basket in a separate tank, these guys are truly purple and not the brown people call purple if that makes sense. They were purchased as darth vaders

Please explain to me how you are successfully keeping all these strains together?
I am extremely interested to know please

I have been told and warned never to mix them.
My Chicagos, Colorado and Arizonas are all in separate tanks.
Thank you

Not sure i have any secret or tips; the store i got them from had the chicagos and colorados mixed for a price that made me buy multiple ( 110 each) and yes they are the real deal. I decided to chance it and mix a grail in and so far no issues (no deflating randomly; only after a big meal), no shrunken tentacles, or no color loss, the color has gotten brighter and the anemones have put on size. I have kept anemones for over 20 years and have had past issues mixing rainbows with greens so was hesitant to mix strains but so far so good. I have never had great luck with green bta's to be honest; alot of them are wild collected. Alot of reefers report issues with mixing happening weeks or months after trying so we will see what the future holds. It has been three months so far so time will tell, although I don't foresee any issues.

For some reason it's the red strains that tend to cause the most havoc -- rainbow, black widow, sherman, etc.

Sunbursts have a better track record of being kept together.

 

[Ocellaris123]

I have widows in my other basket in another tank with vaders, grails, a nexus burst and some cool green ones, will see how the interaction goes long term

 

[Ocellaris123]

The holy grail anemone ended up splitting last night sometimes

 

[Shnetts]

check out octo aquatics, he has some very nice large nem boxes, i just ordered the 14x6x4 one to solve the same issue

 

[Ocellaris123]

Hopefully a better shot of the purples
