DeMartini Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm using a 150w 14k Pheonix Bulb. He just bought some conduit pipes from home depot, bent them and then spay painted them black. We didn't want to put any holes in the stand so he built a wooden frame that sits behind my stand that holds the pipes up. Link to comment

Phixion Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 You're using a Phoenix 14k?? I have the same bulb I bought recently and it seems aweful bluish to me, it's the 150w one like you have. I mean I don't mind the color at all, but I thought the Phoenix was more white compared to other bulbs?? Link to comment
Tony Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 M I mean I don't mind the color at all, but I thought the Phoenix was more white compared to other bulbs?? Mine is whiter light than other bulbs but then again I have a 250 watt on an Ice Cap ballast. Link to comment

DeMartini Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 I bought this maxi mini today! it's not crazy colored, but it's still pretty cool and HUGE. Link to comment
JMAdams Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Awesome tank! I love that maxi mini. Link to comment
DeMartini Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 I just traded some of my mini carpet anemones at Atlantis and got this really cool red one! I'll take a better picture when it opens up more. Link to comment
Jamie Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I bought this maxi mini today! it's not crazy colored, but it's still pretty cool and HUGE. Could you get a picture of this guy's column? I'm thinking that it might be Heterodactyla hemprichii, not S. tapetum. Either way very cool anemone. And that red one is fantastic! Edit: or maybe Thalassianthus aster, dunno, doesn't look like stichodactyla to me though. Link to comment

I decided to search around after seeing your post and I found out that it's actually a Cryptodendrum adhaesivum. I wonder if it can be propagated Link to comment
Jamie Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Of course! Hey- they host some clowns in the wild, maybe yours will take to it. They may be propogatable, but I don't know if I'd risk it - they're pretty uncommon in the hobby. How big is it? Link to comment
DeMartini Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 it's about 5 inches across. I have it in a holding container, but it will be going into my new 50 gallon. I hope my clowns go for it =) Link to comment

I hope my clowns go for it =) Hmm. I don't think it's Heterodactyla hemprichii or Cryptodendrum adhaesivum. It looks the same as the maxi minis I have when they are not fully open yet. I know people have been referring to the maxi minis as the "larger variant of Sticodactyla tapetum", but that ID seems wrong too. Hopefully someone will have a more positive ID on these guys one day. But yes, you should be able to slice them down the middle. And that ATL red is beautiful!!! Link to comment
DeMartini Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks! It looked the same when it was all spread out in the fish store. I read that their common name is pizza anemone. Link to comment
