Okay, so the back story, a while ago, when my tank was too young, I got what I believe was a bad anemone, (I didnt know the signs at that point)
Well, it got sucked into my canister filter, and made the most god awful mess I have yet to deal with in my tank. Thankfully I was running carbon in the canister filter, and I think that saved my fish, by the time I got up in the morning, it was gone except for green slime and bits of it stuck in the screen on the filter.
So! Today I was at animart in austell, not the cleanest fish store, but his prices tend to be the best. I had seen this anemone in his display tanks for a while, so I know it was healthy (atleast a month, maybe two) and its huge. I mean really huge.
when I saw it in the tank, it stood probably 12 inches high, the picture I am uploading of it in my tank is what he looked like today, all deflated, but he latched on very healthily, and seems to be doing alright.
It's funny, my shrimp, who never comes out, came out within an hour and started cleaning, or fighting the anemone (not completely sure which one, looked like he was boxing him)
I added some dead rock to that side of my tank to make him his own ledge away from my corals so hopefully he stays put, and gets happy, I also wanted him elevated as I only run 4x t5 HO. May add on another 2 t5 ho's soon though.
So here he is, please if you have any tips, or want to yell at me about something wrong, I could use any pointers.
The tank is now probably 3 or four months old, parameters are good. temp seems to stay around 80.
I am stocked with two clowns, that I want to host it, and once this guy stretches out, its going to be one hell of a home for them!
Oh and yes, i know i got some algae in the full tank photo, I think i got some bad water, going to mention it next time i go in, i got a mild to severe bloom right after a water change.
