Chew_Magna Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 As long as there's a crevice that the flower nem can put its foot in, I think it would be fine. Pretty much. When I get one I find the spot I want it, and I just hold it there for 30 seconds to a minute. 3 out of 4 have stayed where I put them. The last one was a wanderer and ended up not making it.

FishDooD65 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 As long as there's a crevice that the flower nem can put its foot in, I think it would be fine. I got a nice one from keydiver on his web site for $10. Put it in the tank where I wanted and it hasn't moved. The rock the clownfish spawned on is bare, it gets some light but not a whole lot. I've always wanted a rock nem on there, did not know if they would be able to survive there. I had a red mushroom that made babies and then all 3 of them abandoned rock to float off elsewhere in the tank. The rock nems are great and usually stay where they initially place their foot. They can move if they arent happy with the light they get but mine have been great and not stung my coral. Link to comment
nicholc2 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Finally got some better pics of my two RFA's. The first one is a little blurry, but you can see the one better in it from that angle. http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/nicholc2/media/IMG_4033_zps0bdcf9f2.jpg.html'> http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/nicholc2/media/IMG_4034_zpsdb0f536f.jpg.html'> Link to comment

Reef Goddess Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Well that is the point isn't it? Hopefully I'll have more in stock this coming week. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Happy to hear others have had pure white as well, I mean I"ve seen them and I've only been reefing since Feb and my lfs told me today when she saw the picture "IT'S DYING"- then she added, just give it a few mos. I'm like, "I got it like this, it's eating fine, not acting strange and I just laughed inside. She said they're usually tan. I think she's stuck in her world and may not look online much. It has a little cream orange mouth and sometimes its stripes are more lavender on some days. But what does it mean when its tentacles are arranged outside around the parimeter versus sitting more inward???? Lately it's done the 2nd picture more. I alternate feeding it once or twice a week. Does it want more or less food or more or less light? Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm stealing this picture from Ward to show how gorgeous his nem is! Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I think she's stuck in her world and may not look online much. I run into this daily. When I try to talk to people about some more in-depth things involved in reefing I get blown off like I don't know what I'm talking about because I'm speaking of things that other people don't know. It's the same thing, they have their own little world of limited information and they don't know about the rest so they assume you don't know what you're talking about. Kat that pic is highly edited. It looks like a standard jpeg that someone used an HDR filter on to blow it out. I'd love to see the stock photo. Link to comment

An iPhone isn't capable of shooting raw images for true HDR so it's software edited within the phone to give the illusion that it is. You can easily tell by the blown out colors and every edge inside the pic. I can do this same thing with my phone, and I can do the same thing by importing a jpeg into Photoshop and using the standard HDR filter. That's the exact same thing the iPhone is doing with it's "HDR" photos. So, it's edited. Lookit what I have flooooooating in a baggie! A splurge for sure. I'll be eating dollar menu for a few days now. Link to comment

When I think of editing I think of going into photoshop which I do everyday (as a Creative Director) and messing with filters, color shifts, layers, saturation, hue, curves, etc . . .

Chew_Magna Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I lost my new green one today. This is the third one I've had that wouldn't sit still and eventually keeled over on me. My other two are just peachy. Link to comment

My other two are just peachy. Well crap. The ones that made it, are they just face up or on the side? Do you think it's a flow or light issue? Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The two I have left do whatever they want. They're always attached and face up, both even walk around sometimes but for the most part stay put. The three I lost just wouldn't sit still anywhere. Those three were also all "transparent" to an extent, where my other two are very solid looking. Idk if that has anything to do with it but there it is. Link to comment
