Finally I got all my anemones back from my friend almost 1 year from my tank crash. In the pictures below there are 4 Gigantea 1 Magnifica and 1 Haddoni. I also have a very bright blue Haddoni that disappeared in my friend's tank. We are not sure what happened to that anemone. He have a large tank and was busy and not observant. One day he just notice the anemone just not there anymore. The Haddoni was a 10+ inches so I am/He is at a loss to explain what happened

Orion. Your post had me wondering, could one anemone consume another?

I cannot get over how beautiful this Bluethroat Fairy wrasse is. This is my second one. The first was traded back to the store for an Eightline Wrasse. He is doing great. No significant aggression so far.

The spawn of my Flame angels tonight. The actual event is at 4:15 if anybody don't want to watch the foreplay where he dash all over the aquarium with fins fully extended.


That is great! Always nice to see animals so comfortable they are willing to spawn in our aquariums.

I pain for another Isosceles at the LFS. I knew they have fish coming in yesterday so I visit the LFS at noon. They got 2 Isosceles in. I paid for 1 but ask them to hold until that evening for me to pick up. Work got hectic and I did not have a chance to get out before they close so I will pick up today. I snapped a picture with my phone when I was there yesterday when they are dripping him in. Hope I will have better luck this time.

This guy does grown on me. The smallest of all the wrasse, even smaller than the smallest Flasher, he is doing quite well. Was emaciated when I got him, he is torpedo shape now. Doing really well at 1.5 inch. Coloring up well too.

I feed the tank with frozen and flakes twice a day, 7 AM and 6 PM or so. then I have an automatic feeder 4 times during the day 9, 11, 1, and 3. The fish are happy. I do have to add more snails to the algae control. I really need to add more tangs too but really resist it up until now. I only a Purple and Yellow at this time. I have almost no snails, but just added two abalones, and about 20 snails last week, they really did a number on the algae so far.

Flakes in the auto feeder? What flakes do you use? The frequency of feeding is really good. In our studies we found that the more often fish are fed the healthier and faster they grow.
