She felt great after finally throwing up last night. Took us almost seven hours but we stopped twice. Having a late Christmas with my parents and brothers’ families up here.

wish we could meet up in albany on ur way home. It's about 90 mins for me.
Sometimes I wonder why I do this hobby. This post is the reason. Thanks for the great documentarySometimes in reefing we deal with mysteries and frustrations. My tank certainly had its share of challenges in 2019. This new year has so far brought the opposite. This week the tank presented me with the kind of wonderful chain of events that define why I love this hobby. I will explain.
I mentioned the other day, after a week away, in the midst of neglect, my Bubble Tipped Anemone split. This was one of the pictures I shared.
The clone went to the back side of the anemone rock and appeared to wedge itself into three rocks. Today I decided to try and free the anemone from this spot and move it to the large left structure.
First I prepared myself
(I work in the tank with my shirt off. Deal with it, LOL)
My first bit of luck was that the clone anemone’s foot was only attached to the main anemone rock. It would have been much more difficult to remove her if she was stuck to multiple pieces.
After about 15 minutes of massaging her, she detached her foot and I had her in hand. Next I held her onto a secure spot with a small hole on the top left rock. She immediately grabbed hold and I let her go and watched.
Almost immediately, the big Mama Clownfish started going into the clone. Then she went back and forth between the two anemones. Pretty cool. Next, something amazing happened. The male Clownfish, who had ignored the original anemone for 5 months, started backing his tail into the clone anemone.
After a short period of acclimation he was swimming around happy in his new found home.
The Mama kept coming over still and for the first time ever, our two Clownfish were sharing an anemone. Amazing.
For the most part, the two Clowns spent the day in their respective anemones. The Mama in her usual spot on the right and the male in the clone anemone on the left.
After my daily sleep, I woke to find the clone had moved to a more secure spot about 4” to the left. The male Clown was still there and the tank looked beautiful.
I must say I am overjoyed with my tank these last couple of days. Clowns and anemones are why I have a reef. The anemone split brought a beautiful new creature into the tank. The move of that clone anemone went painlessly. Then, the male Clown finally found an anemone home. The two Clowns even seem to be getting along swimmingly and perhaps, a new love will form between them. I suppose my feelings are revealed as I write here, but I really cannot convey how much I love my tank right now.
Did you do it yet. What’s taking so long

I got involved in a game of soft ball about 8 years ago, I have the titanium plate and 6 screws in my right collar bone to prove it!
Good thing it wasn't a game of rugby! You English blokes play full contact softballI got involved in a game of soft ball about 8 years ago, I have the titanium plate and 6 screws in my right collar bone to prove it!
