HVani Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 They are here and in the tank! Looking pretty angry. Once they open up more I will post pictures. Till then here are the pictures from the site of what I got This thing is insane looking, pictures do not even show how bright it is! And a freebie I think it's one of these Link to comment
HVani Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I am ready for the game! Go Seahawks!! Link to comment
gena Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Nice lot!!!! Who are the seahawks playing? My Chicago Bears are out . Link to comment
HVani Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 New Orleans. Which is kind of a bummer because I really like the Saints and Drew Brees. Link to comment
gena Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Oh geeze...they are in the playoffs again???? My SIL is probably going nuts..that's her team. Seems like they always win. Link to comment
HVani Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Yeah but the Seahawks smoked them earlier this year. So far so good for my seahawks. Link to comment
HVani Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm having trouble getting a picture of the bubble tip. Everything looks just like it was pictured on the site except the anemone. Which I was expecting, the description said it was green not blue. Anyway from coral collection's site, here is what the anemone looks JUST like. I am so stoked. This is an anemone I have wanted for a very long time but just could not justify the price I am pleasantly surprised. Most acid rain anemones look like this (which I was fine with) but instead I got an anemone that looks way more like a purple rain :) I was suspicious when I looked at it on the site. But now I know for sure Link to comment
gena Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Awesome! Is there a significant price difference between the acid rain and purple rain? Congrats on the Seahawks win too . Link to comment
HVani Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 They are about the same price Here are some pictures She's crawled into a space that's difficult to get a photo of Chalice Freebie Sunglasses needed And a random shot of my hector's goby Link to comment
HVani Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I recently decided to keep this tank more softie/LPS like I originally planned. I had started to get some SPS but I haven't been too happy with them. I've had a few die and I'm leaving it at that. Right now I still have a purple cap, unIDed acro, and my rainbow monti. With this decision, I turned the whites down on my lights to give more of a blue look and make my corals pop more during the day. So far everything looks great! And nothing seems upset by it.

HVani Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Besides being knocked around by some hermits, everything is doing well. In the morning the anemone is out and open, but by the time I get home from work she's in a cave. I think my LEDs are a little much for her. Hopefully she adapts. She's been eating no problem. The other corals are doing well. I need to get everything glued down better. My coral glue dried up I need some more. Link to comment
HVani Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well the anemone ended up not making it. I'm super bummed but sometimes that's how it goes. Everything else is doing great. There is a frag swap on Saturday. I have very little room for coral but I'm still super excited to go. The raffles are pretty awesome this year. Maybe I'll get lucky and win something I caught Snow looking at me from her princess castle. Who said snakes can't be cute? She likes to watch me when I'm on the computer. Of my snakes she's the only one that ever seems interested in what I'm doing. Link to comment
HVani Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Update time! The picture of my new mushroom didn't come out. It's a nice orange color though. SHould look cool once they spread. Ok here is the nem rock. The pink and white one is tough to get pictures of due to where it is in the tank. You can see the red/green one and the white one in this pic though and a peak at the other. I'm going to have to frag these soon My magicians ♥ Full tank shot cuz I haven't done one in a while And the rest Link to comment
gena Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Looks amazing!!!!! You really need to show this off more often . Is the white and pink one right below the orange and green one? I can't wait to get a good view of it. I bet it's very pretty!!!! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nice selection of nems. Your white one reminds me of mine. Which still will change a little sometimes in the middle section, sometimes it's a little pinkish, other times a little greenish. Just kinda depends. That one shows up so well on the top.

I can't wait to get a good view of it. I bet it's very pretty!!!! Yup it is the one in the front. I'm feeding them to help them grow. Link to comment
gena Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yup it is the one in the front. I'm feeding them to help them grow. Are they feeding for you already? Mine really took some time to settle in before they would accept food. Yesterday was the first day I tried some nice sized pieces of PE Mysis. They loved it. Before that it was just pellets that they would catch. Since the mysis was a success, I'll start hand feeding them once or twice a week now. I don't really want them to grow so much as start reproducing. As soon as I get some reproduction going on, I can get a bigger tank. That's the deal I have with the boss . Link to comment
HVani Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 They took some small pieces of mysis and a bit of ova. But again they are settling i. I also read that article on reproduction and it sounds awesome! I would love some baby rock flower anemones Link to comment
HVani Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well since the swap things have been settling in. Sadly I caught my flame angel picking at my acans and then my favia. I took a half day at works today since I was sick. Of course I'm no good at resting so I tackled the tank. I removed the angel and received 4 bites from Claudia for messing up HER tank. Stupid clownfish made me bleed. Anyway I put the angel in an acclimation container in the sump so I could take him to the LFS this weekend. I checked on him after dinner and he had jumped out and into the sump. Luckily it's in the sump and not the display. Unluckily I'll have to dig him out at some point So while I was at the swap I might have picked up a fish. I'm not normally one for buying something I haven't researched but he was soooo cute. The vendor said he was a seaweed blenny. He reminded me of a saddled blenny I use to have. Sadly when I got home and looked him up, he's not a seaweed blenny. IN fact I don't know what he is. But he's an absolute character! So much personality and he just started eating for me. This is the picture that I have found to be the closest. It's labeled an oyster blenny but I don't think that is right either Link to comment
