FlowerMama Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Ha! Well, she totally took herself off the 1.25" small rock on which she came. The good thing about being on that one rock is that I could move her easily but she had different plans. I just feel before she could spread out more but her choice. She'll move again if she doesn't like it. The tank will be rearranged anyway when I move in Dec. I don't want to fill this tank up as I want the bta to be the show piece of it. Light doesn't come on til 2pm so later I'll try get a pic of her. Link to comment
Mom2many Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 They do have a mind of their own. Especially if they are not happy. She is pretty and will make a great show piece! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Enjoyed a mineral springs hot tub for 2 hrs in Hot Springs, NC today and had a friend join me too. He was green with envy. And my bta today is doing fine. Link to comment
Mom2many Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hot tub, how relaxing! Sounds wonderful! Cute catterpiller too! Glad your Nem is happy now. She looked so droopy and sad when her rock went over. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hot tub, how relaxing! Sounds wonderful! Cute catterpiller too! Glad your Nem is happy now. She looked so droopy and sad when her rock went over. She sure did look sad and scrunched. Well, she didn't stay their long after she kicked out the rock. Came home today and she had moved down completely. I remember saying she wouldn't be happy. Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 They bite? To my knowledge it is normally the barbs. I'm not sure. It was a puss caterpillar Link to comment
Muraki Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm not sure. It was a puss caterpillar Yep, barbs then. I hear those suck..... How many hours did the pain last? Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sounds awful Harry. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yep, barbs then. I hear those suck..... How many hours did the pain last? As I recall like 3 hours. Almost went to the ER because the red streaks up my arm, but my mom was like "It's not deadly, here's an Advil and suck it up" Link to comment
Muraki Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 As I recall like 3 hours. Almost went to the ER because the red streaks up my arm, but my mom was like "It's not deadly, here's an Advil and suck it up" Haha, sounds like me with a copperhead bite. Pain for about 5 hours, swelling for a few days.... I hear the puss caterpillar can cause pain for 12-24 hours under horrible circumstances. Link to comment
Mom2many Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yikes! You guys are tough. Although I did knock my head good the other day and should have went in for stitches and didnt. If it was one of my kids I would have taken them. I just prayed about it and looked up concussions on line and waited it out. Nem looks really good there by the way! Link to comment

And your getaway sounds awesome! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Oh man! That sounds awful! I love that BTA, Annette!!! And your getaway sounds awesome! Thanks. I'm really looking forward to it though work has taken all the excitement out of it but that front is looking better. Rumor has it from managers that say too much is that the outsourcing is really behind with getting it all together, so hopefully that means extending me to the end of Dec if not, I hope, another 6 mos. That at least would mean no problem with the employment verification check and I wouldn't have to move and look for a job all at one time. Link to comment
Anden Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I hope your situation works out for you and yours. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 I hope your situation works out for you and yours. Thank You Anden. I hope one day there is another to love. Right now I have memories. We used to work together as well, later he became sick and passed. This is a new chapter in my life, to move to a new home on my own and start my tanks over. I am happy to move. When my husband was alive we only had freshwater fish, a catfish, 2 firemouth, 2 jack dempsey, 2 or 3 silver dollars and 2 blood parrots. My sister strongly suggested I learn about saltwater and reefing. This hobby very much helped me get through the loneliness I felt. I learned so much here and made friends and the learning kept me very busy which was very helpful for me mentally. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Keeps moving down. so I moved the rock over to the right. And one of Hagen in the car. Link to comment
Mom2many Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hopefully the nem will find a comfy spot soon and settle down. Still looks puffy but not really spread out like it feels at home. It is so pretty. About how big is it? Hard to judge from a picture. Your dog is so cute. Love his freckles on his muzzle. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Just depends but she's about the size of an apple or orange. Link to comment
Mom2many Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 She looks so much bigger than that in the pictures. Love the color she makes a great center piece. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thank you, she really is a green and rich evergreen color, just so much blue from the lights it saps the color in the pic. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hope she stays put! She is so pretty Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Nope! She moved again. Moved a little further back. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe wait a while and then move the rock how you like it. When I got my anemone, it decided on an odd spot on the bottom right of my right island. It stayed there for a few days, so then I just rotated the rock so the Anemone is front and center Link to comment
