Morning all
I was reading up on oysters the other night and some things you would never think
1 They can live 20 years to 30 years
2 They breath with gills like fish
3 They can change sex from male to female and female to male
4 That

one oyster can filter 50 gallon of water a day amazing
5 They have three chambers hearts that pump a colourless blood around the body
6 young larvae float around and attaching to other oysters and then stay there for the rest of of there lives building up colony’s . The oyster larvae are called spats .

Well I had a stressful weekend. First of all I started seeing a milky haze starting I have had this before it was the the male anemones letting there smurfs stuff into the water then the next day like a bottle of milk shrimps were floating to the top. I said to my self o no here we go replaced carbon after a couple of hour no change at all s..t this isn’t going good lol so water change mode 50% water change improved the tank water but still a-little haze . Next day a 10% water change problem solved crystal clear water thank god . So I think they let sperm off for the females and because it’s in a small volume of water every thing in the nano can not handle it . I don’t run a skimmer but maybe time to make one. Give it a couple of weeks and the female will be spitting baby anemones all over the place I would rather they would split instead of this milky haze but it is what it is just got to work around it lol. So a lovely weekend and all the anemones weren’t effected at all my hermit crabs are ok and my snails are fine but the shrimps are toast. When this was going on I tested ammonia salfert and it came back 0 so anemone juice is harmful lol

Does this count? It’s not an anemone you’d expect but I love it - the Mini Maxi Carpet Anemone. I’d love to see them in the wild (I believe they can be found in rockpools in indonesia).

I’d love some more of them but they’re a pain to find as you only see RFAs around.
