A few years ago I got an anemone. I think it was a hitch hiker but I forget. It grew,mostly in the back of the tank to about 8" across then traveled to the front of the tank.

The thing must like it in my tank so it grew to like 10" and split. So I had two 8" anemones.

Recently it split again so now I have 3 of them and one is almost 10" again. Soon I will just have anemones in my tank and I do not want that.
They are really hard to remove as they are much to big and two of them are in the back and entwined in rocks and caves with tentacles extending out from all over the place. :(

I once lost a full grown copperband butterfly to an anemone and I like my copperband better than those anemones.

I may just play some Rap music near the tank to try to get it to explode. ;Drool

We are in Phase two (I think) here in New York so we can eat breakfast outside in some restaurants.
Of course it is hard to eat with the mask on so we have to figure out how to do that. :rolleyes:

What fish are these (not the yellow watchman goby)?

I forget the name of that guy, or girl. I got her a long time ago and I am lousy with names but that fish is so bright purple that the camera and computer screen can't reproduce it. I am sure you can look it up somewhere.

She is in this video a few times.

The mask is to stop you spreading any virus (can be asymptomatic and still carry). Masks are for protecting everyone else, not yourself.
WHO reports less than 6% chance of spread from asymptomatic individuals just yesterday. Course you have to consider the source lol!

I have about 6% trust in what the WHO reports and less than 3% trust in what most Snowflake news shows report but 98% trust in the fact that I am going on my boat today with old friends and 75% trust in the fact that the weather report predicts a 85% chance of a great day.

I have purchased a very similar if not the same fish under the name of neon goby. Certainly not scientific but would be something to google anyway.

Thats it. :)

I was sorting pictures and I found some old ones of my tank.
I think this was from the 80s.


That picture appeared in FAMMA Magazine.

This one says 2010 but I think it is maybe 5 r 10 years earlier


This one I know is from about 1972 because that is my first salt water fish and he is over his nest of eggs.
(I guess those dates under my pictures are way off as it says 2010)



This looks like maybe the 90s

My DIY pods have really taken off over the last few days. Just took a quick video having scooped some out with a small clear trifle pot to reduce reflection off the waters surface. There are millions of nupli in my old salt bucket that these came from.
