bigredreefer Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 STICKY IT!! That was awesome. Same techniqe when cutting rics? RED Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Adin you should send me some of those just for my post-count alone. I think I contribute a lot to this site in my posts, like this one. USEFUL! lol No, seriously, good thread worthy of stickying. And GIMME UR BABIES. Link to comment
adinsxq Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 red: This will work for rics as well. Of course.. they'll be slower to re-attach, but it'll work. izzue: I'll bet yours is gigantic now... what's the diameter? I've read every post on RC (twice!) about these anemones and not one person reports a maxi splitting naturally. Minis are like bunnies... but maxis are a whole 'nother story. Adin you should send me some of those just for my post-count alone. ...and you think I get compensated for my contribution? Link to comment
Izzue Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Adin It hasnt grown that much...mother is like 4 to 5 inches by end of photoperiod. I think the stress of shipping when I got it from Miguel caused it to start spliting. Miguel said he had only had a few to split naturally and I was the 1st customer he had sold one to that was spliting. I just checked the calender and I purchased the Mini max on 8-06...and the baby is still not completely seperated. I think the Porcelain crab may have become dinner for the Mother...I cant find any signs of the crab...lol. It was killer while the crab was hosting the anemone...but it may have backfired for the little crabbie. Izzue Link to comment

Ebn Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Not sure about the fact that mini reproduce like babies since mine hasn't even split in over 2 months that I've had it. Been feeding it like crazy while it sits in the shade also. Might have to do some slicing soon. Link to comment
adinsxq Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 One of the side effects of an uneven cut is an uneven anemone! As you can see.. this one healed a little funny due to a bad slice job. Link to comment
jafoca Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have had a mini for at least 4 months now and it has not split or grown since. It has settled in a low light / high flow area, and I do not feed it regularly. I heard they were practically invasive, so whats up? Link to comment

It has settled in a low light / high flow area, and I do not feed it regularly.

Jamie Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Adin- What's you're favorite method for getting them off of the rocks? Link to comment
Snazzy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 a mouth-full thats his second feeding in a row like that >.> he sure is hungry i havent decided if i wana cut him yet what u think? Link to comment
adinsxq Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Jamie: My preferred method is by fingernail.. thumb to be specific. This works best when they anemone is "on the move" (keep in mind on-the-move refers to "anemone time"). An individual that is firmly planted, i.e. has it's foot wedged into a crevice is impossible to peel off. You're either going to have to chip it out (hammer and chisel) or motivated to start walking. The easiest way to get the anemone to move is to place it in an uncomfortable environment. If possible, and you're not in a rush, simply turn the rock upside down. If you can't wait, direct a powerhead at the base of the anemone for a few minutes (repeat as necessary... off and on... off and on). Snazzy: That's how I do it too! lol! That one's on the small side... about a nickel right? I would wait, thought it is big enough to survive a cut IMO. Link to comment

neenish Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'll post pics of them plus the NanoCube 6 of my waratah's. Last I counted, I had about 20 large ones (up to 2" wide) and some with green dotted lines on the red bodies and some with really light blue tiny dots on the red bodies and some with large blue dots around the rim of the tentacles. I need to get a good camera that shoots macro-any suggestions would be helpful. Brian All you SoCal people with access to group buys ARE TEH SUXORS. Kthx. I wish this was a group buy. These are all for me for the time being. Then once I hook up with Adinsxq, I'll try to slice and dice them and let some so.Cal people get some cheap. Just trying to help out my fellow reefers.

adinsxq Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 glad you finally found the waratahs... sorry i was never able to help you out Link to comment
Jamie Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Speaking of waratahs, have you tried this on any of them? I have some cold water nems I might want to try fragging. Link to comment
