i think sexy shrimps can be hit or miss. i read tooo many horror stories of them suddenly munching on my zoas.

 

beautiful RFAs =)

 

hoping this isn't the case with my

well behaved sexies so far! will be observiing

some more. i love my sexies and i hope they

haven't gone to the dark side. also, these

saiyans close at the drop of a dime.

my sexy shrimps!

Cindy,

Here are a couple of iphone photos of my rock flower anemones. Sorry that they are not the best quality.

The colors are pretty close.

 

All the photos I took with my wife's camera turned out blurry. It seems to focus on the aquarium glass?

Thanks. They are about 2-1/2" when they are fully open.

I bought them around July 24th in a group buy from VIP Reef.

 

I had a scary moment with the yellow one this weekend. The orange Ricordea to the right of the yellow RFA has not attached itself to anything yet. While cleaning the tank it blew into the anemone by accident. It started to close on the ric and I had to pull it away with my hand.

 

Very strange sensation having the RFA try to crab my fingers!

Dropped in to check out your thread.

Tank is looking great! I love the choice of nems :)

thank you, guys! i'm enjoying a lot!

 

we are having a crazy heat wave here in southern

cali, but i braved the temps to go pick up the corals

i bought during a big online sale from Aqua San Diego.

and will was kind enough to throw in a freebie. i think there's

one with every online order too? i had to ask him what this

was, a dragon soul favia! my first favia. eep! it has a very bright

neon green center--very pretty. i don't know what kind of zoas

i got either in the back, so if anyone can ID. ha! /noob

Aqua San Diego? Is that an LFS or Online Store?? The only place I have been to in San Diego County is Aquatica in San Marcos area. Im in Menifee. I primarly go to the fish and frag shack or Gills

yes, Aqua SD! they are on clairemont mesa blvd

across from the Zion market! they apparently do

tons of online sales, but as a local, i can stop in! :D

maybe not so great for my wallet though.

 

Aquatic Warehouse near Aqua SD is great too! it's

about 5 minutes further down clairemont mesa blvd.

Im about 45 minutes away. They look expensive. However, their selection looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

 

sdreefs.com seems to be down. but the

deals were fantastic online.

 

i got the metallic shroom for $20 and

the two polyps of blue agaves for $15.

apparently they do these online sales once

or twice a month?

 

you should check it out under "sponsors"

thread at sdreefs.com once it's up again.

i think the heat broked it. ha!

 

yea, AquaSD can be pretty pricey but they run sales alot.

 

my flower nems were on par with the sale

prices. i had gone in early that friday and picked

the best of the bunch! :rolleyes:

So freaking hot. We just got hit with rain too. Feels like Florida!!!!

 

i'm from taiwan, so this isn't totally weird.

but in SD? what are we, in the tropics? ha!

 

 

nice selections!

 

 

 

thank you! i saw that the palys actually

have a third smaller polyp. freebie! my sexy

shrimp was dancing all over them too. aiiiii

 

 

if anyone has favia tips, i'd appreciate.

been googling, but don't know much about

them at all. was scared it was SPS for a moment there.

The little sexy shrimp just chillin in the background on the frogspawn, awesome!!

 

Love your nem and the paly's!!!

 

thank you! i think i've hit max as far as coral

acquiring for now. ha! am very happy with everything.

most of the coral from my old pico are bleached, due

to a babysitting disaster (high temps for days) so they

look wan in my tank. poor things.

 

the sexies seems uper happy and have the run of

the tank. i had some ginorous amphipods that they

had to compete for pellets with in the 3g. maybe they'll

come back. but for now, they rule the roost. :happy:

 

WISHLIST:

 

so i'd LOVE a plate coral.

not sure if that's the right term, but i

saw some cool ones at ASD. no space

in the tank though.

 

they also got some clams in that

were gorgeous. point me to your plate

coral or clam fotos or post them here

so i can covet. ha!

Another RFA lover :happydance:. I really love that orange one you picked up! I'm in L.A. and the weather has been insane. I usually love hotter weather but after a week in the 100s I'm now fed up LOL. We didn't get rain yesterday but we had rain clouds overhead in the afternoon. It was a nice break from the intense sun...did have a tropical feel too which I love :).

 

 

Next time I'm in SD I want to visit AquaSD.

 

 

Here's a photo that has both of my clams and plates in it :). These guys are in my 45g tank. You definitely need space for them!

your tanks are so gorgeous!!!

totally envious and very insprational.

 

i've got my eye on the mini tide light

you just posted about. maybe for my

next big splurge. :)

 

i went in and handpicked the orange nem

before ASD had its online sale. supposedly

pricey unless on sale, which they hold often.

 

now, i think i'ma going to move my favia and

give her some space. ha!

 

eta: can i ask what fish you keep in your 8g?

does that pretty firefish (?) do well? fish(ies) will

be my next big addition to the 8g. but holding

off until october.

Thanks :). That orange RFA you picked up is one of the prettiest I've seen!!!

 

If you decide to get the light you won't regret it! I love that favia...always loved that color combo on that one.

 

I have a green clown goby and a masked goby in my 8g tank. Both are quite small. No plans to add any other fish unless I lose one of them. They don't really hang out together but I think they like knowing the other is there. I'm projecting...they could probably care less LOL. The firefish are in my 45g tank. I really think they do best in at least 20g min. They are long fish and seem to stress easily. From my experience.

*facepalm* too hot and not enough iced coffee yet.

of course, your plates and clams would be in the larger

tank. thank you! i'm considering gobies, they are so cute,

but not super active. or possibly stubby clowns. maybe blennies.

will have to have a gander next i'm at Aquatic Warehouse.

they have a wide fish selection for us SDians.

 

that orange nem was expensive. ha! sticker shock!

 

and i am very pleased with the dragon soul favia freebie.

but just googled tentacle images. :blink: no joke.

 

thank you, gena!!

 

eta: i think your gobies are happy there's another

in the tank too. :happy:
