I had a BTA, the only photo I have found of it was when it was in the store. Added it into my tank and it walked around quite happily, then it just vanished I assume it’s dead by now.

The other Anemone I have at the moment is a green RFA

Looks great! Sometimes sitting back and watching a funny movie is a great decompression!

These 2 trip me out. Every day about 5-10 minutes before the first time they get fed (about 8:30am), they sit right at the end of the tank, closest to me, and wait for food lol.

Was finally able to snag a pic, as if I walk over they move to top of tank lol.

My tank is in the living room. Anytime someone gets up off the couch, 15 fish go crazy stupid wanting food. In the front corner where I dump the food in.. Especially at night when they get fed mysis.

Are you divorced yet? The reason asked, you're over 800 post. Just wondering how it's going.;)

Well, Not divorced, so that is good. We came to a compromise. She wants a lagoon, she has it. It is just still in the fish barn for now. Remodel is still not complete where the tank will be moving to. We also may not move it, as we are moving in a little less than 2 years.

As for fish being idiots and always hungry fiends, all the tanks int he house are the same way. My fish in the 180 are really funny. My des tang spits water at my wife when she walks by, as sh is usually the one to feed that tank.

And this just made my day. The decorater crab in the macro lagoon finally found something other than macro lol.

Some purple florida zoas for a decorator crab collected in Florida. I couldnt ask for more.

That’s hilarious, are the Zoas actually growing on the crab? I’d love to know how if they are because to me that’s the crab needing to be next to the Zoas either constantly or at the right time haha.

They clip the zoas, macros or whatever and then place them on themselves. They have tiny hair like filaments (similar to an urchin) that hold onto items. The zoas will grow on the crab, if they are there long enough. When they grow too much for the crabs liking, it will clip them again, but just leave them somewhere in the tank.

Also, I had one that had a mushroom (ricordia) on it for the longest time. The shroom ended up coming off when the crab molted and the crab never put it back on. That crab is still in this tank, but loads itself up with fern caulerpa lol.

My HOA approved it, even though they are a bunch of heffers.

Here they are.

yours seems more reasonable to deal with. Ours got snippy about the grass inside our being slightly longer than the front. And there’s a 1”x1” square of trim above the garage that needs painted.

Yeah, I could never do an HOA like that. The one in FL is pretty cool. Grass has to be nice, but there is a range of acceptable height. Little crap they do not nit pick at.

I counter your bud light with a full bottle (for the time being) of Clase Azule in front of a mixed reef!!!!!

Please stop. I am 2/3rds through my dry January. I'll have to drink three herbal teas to get through this kind of trigger.
