For you all anemone lovers...

Took this shot tonight of my anemone tank.

Did you post this on purpose just to scare all the people who recently posted pictures of their new Entacmaea quadricolor anemone? Bad zhenya!



P.S. -- For anyone who isn't familiar with that tank, it's a 110-gal tank. The Rose Bubble Tip Anemones in that tank started out as one little anemone a couple of years ago. It has turned into more than three dozen clones and that's in spite of the fact that zhenya has removed several of them.

I like to refer to it as "the anemone that ate zhenya's tank!"

Yep! Not to be mean or anything but I figured I got to throw this out there. People must be aware of the danger...

FYI, there is more than 50 clones in that tank at this very moment. Some are as small as a silver dollar and some are more than a foot across. :eek3:

Gene, as always the tank looks great. In spite of the joking I know you love what most would see as a plague. It's beautiful.

I still think Zhenya is secretly feeding the yellow tang Xanax so the thing doesn't stress out from all the tenticles!

;)

Nice shot!

Are you kidding? Xanax would be for my own use if I could get it...
Thanks Mike! ;)

Thanks Chuck! You are right, of course. It was my personal choice to let this happen eventually, I could've just as well remove first few clones and keep the corals instead. However I chose to go get another tank (75g) so I could keep corals in it. I never knew I would fall for the sps corals, otherwise I would have switched everything around.
My tang in this tank will be 9 years old this summer, I raised him from the baby stage...literally.

Wow! That is so amazing! Are there any clowns in there somewhere?

I've been wanting an anemone but with the disaster that occured last year in my tank, I'll pass. It may not have happened if it wasn't sick when it went into my tank in the first place but it was sick and died and got caught in the powerhead while I was sleeping I was a ritteri, started in my daughter's tank which had the wrong lighting

Anyways more pics would be nice...

Hi Louise,
Yes there is! Single and meanest female A.clarkii.
Here's a face that only mother would love...



I am sorry about your ritteri anemone...those are one of the most difficult to keep anemones in captivity. Probably right after gigantea in that category.

Wow! What a sourpuss, no wonder she doesn't have a boyfriend!
