New batch of gigantea for Nem garden

[Nemguy123]

back at it with carpets went on a coral binge for awhile there lol here is my gigantea flushing tank thought I’d share since it works very well. It is a 75 gallon tank drilled low, it can be drained through a siphon at a bulk head. The tank drains completely exposing the nems to air for an hour so they can expel any gross water trapped inside them from shipment. I only fill with about 20 gallons at a time. This works great as it forces the Nem to deflate when you add new water this signals to the anemones to inflate again. Sometimes the water has to be changed a few times a day but this is a great method of flushing carpets. If you choose to use antibiotics this also helps ensure the anemones absorb the medication.

The heater is on a water lever sensor it goes off when the water level drops this is important as to not fry your heater also your system should be on battery back up because of the low bulk head fitting and because we don’t want to use a check valve

Mixed nems is fun and challenging, but very rewarding.

[Hot2na]

now what color would you call them ?

 

[airedwin]

Is that a procedure for those nems or do you do it for all types of nems?

 

[Nemguy123]

Is that a procedure for those nems or do you do it for all types of nems? Ive used it for most nems found in tidal pool areas. It can work with mags but I find they don’t like to be exposed to air too much unlike tithe other anemone species. Here are a few pics of some new nems came in yesterday some real odd colors I’ve never seen including an amazing mini neon green gig with purple tips

 

[Wtyson254]

On the right, what the red anemone and the neon green one ?
