If they're dime sized when closed I think they'll be nice sized when happy. In my opinion its more about the colors than size because they grow, my favorite is my smallest due to color. But I would be disappointed if they were all tiny... Lets see them tomorrow Link to comment
spectra Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yeah they are opening up good. Color is decent but a few duplicates. You had a few nice ones in there. I am sure tomorrow they will be all happy. I need to get this big red blob out of my tank it is scarring the hell out of the fish but works great for holding the nems...... it is the ghetto tank now......... Link to comment

I had a duplicate cool one and a solid green, both of which are residing in my Uncle's tank haha. I was overpaid for selling his lights so felt like I should do something nice edit: I feel you on ghetto tank. Ive been procrastinating getting a refugium light for a while now and just have this big ol breeder box of chaeto hanging in the tank haha Link to comment
HM3105 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Those RFAs look really nice Harold! I wonder if 10 of those would work in a Spec V, your thoughts? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Those RFAs look really nice Harold! I wonder if 10 of those would work in a Spec V, your thoughts? With reef lighting I don't see why not! A RFA only tank would be awesome. Might get them to spawn in that close proximity and with large gravel even raise the babies. But I don't know anything about RFAs haha. Ask Stella or Flowermama. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yes some are dime size now so will see what they open up to. Dont stress. I was upset when I saw this one- pencil tip for size. But it turned out to be my favorite! Here is a top-down before they started to spread out. Yes, I stared at my tank all day and got nothing done Here you can see my favorite safely tucked away in the middle Link to comment

Arce Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 THE ANEMONES ARE EVERYWHEREEEEE U thought they would stay in one spot? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 U thought they would stay in one spot? Haha i thought they were happy on that rock! I sort of knew they would wander a bit. But not THIS much! Happy I listened to Stella and kept the Vortech off Link to comment
Rduboid1117 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Those rock flower anemones look awesome! Any chance you want to frag those sunny d's?? Is this good? Average? Went from 5 to 16+ polyps in three months Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Those rock flower anemones look awesome! Any chance you want to frag those sunny d's?? Sure I'll frag two or three polyps and let them heal. Remind me in a few weeks to ship them! 2 day mail is cheap- like $10 Link to comment

Arce Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Haha i thought they were happy on that rock! I sort of knew they would wander a bit. But not THIS much! Happy I listened to Stella and kept the Vortech off Lol they are nems, just like BTA, they will walk and find a spot they are happy. Once your pumps go on they will probably walk more cause they dont like the flow. Or for lighting. Good luck lol. Link to comment

In my opinion its more about the colors than size because they grow, my favorite is my smallest due to color. But I would be disappointed if they were all tiny... Lets see them tomorrow IME tiny ones are harder to care for. But feed them and they should grow! Yeah they are opening up good. Color is decent but a few duplicates. You had a few nice ones in there. I am sure tomorrow they will be all happy. I need to get this big red blob out of my tank it is scarring the hell out of the fish but works great for holding the nems...... it is the ghetto tank now......... I wanna see this ghetto tank! I'm thinking I will have to rig up a similar basket to catch and then move my nems to the new tank!! Those RFAs look really nice Harold! I wonder if 10 of those would work in a Spec V, your thoughts? I have 15 in a Fusion 20. Plenty of room for more especially since they are all different sizes. I think 10 would be ok in a Spec V, but I'm not sure about more than that. I spot feed mine, which can be messy. I ended up adding a skimmer. Haha i thought they were happy on that rock! I sort of knew they would wander a bit. But not THIS much! Happy I listened to Stella and kept the Vortech off Out of the 15 I have, only 3 are close to where I originally put them! And yes, when you turn the Vortech back on they will move again because of change in flow. Some move a lot, some move a little. YOU CAN'T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO YOU AREN'T THEIR REAL DAD!

Dan R Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Every thing looks good. Now we just need a video. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Every thing looks good. Now we just need a video. Thanks! Ill take one soon Link to comment
plainrt Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 With reef lighting I don't see why not! A RFA only tank would be awesome. Might get them to spawn in that close proximity and with large gravel even raise the babies. But I don't know anything about RFAs haha. Ask Stella or Flowermama. And I know nothing lol.............. Apparently I'm doing something wrong lol. Ps they like sand near rocks the most but what do I know lol. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 And I know nothing lol.............. Apparently I'm doing something wrong lol. Forgot about you since your tank isn't really RFA dominated, so those were the two that came to mind. But yeah you are the only one to grow RFAs successfully in large batches So I bow down Link to comment
plainrt Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Too funny Harry. Didn't know having 40-50 of them in 34 gal tank wasn't enough. Guess it's not cool when in a true mixed reef. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Too funny Harry. Didn't know having 40-50 of them in 34 gal tank wasn't enough. Guess it's not cool when in a true mixed reef. Dude i wasn't putting you down, your mixed reef is badass and deserved TOTM! I meant that when I admire your tank and think of it I picture the LPS, SPS, and Montipora first, your RFAs are awesome but thats just not what came to my mind! No insult was intended, you have more experience with RFAs (and having babies!) than anyone on NR Oh and probably the most badass Rasta colony as well Link to comment
plainrt Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Lol i just like messing with you Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Lol i just like messing with you dick How are the RFA babies doing? I have one thats the size of a dime- made me nervous but looks to be doing well. Do you feed the babies? Link to comment
