FlowerMama Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have 22 on rocks in the 40 once they're in a workable spot to remove them. 28-30 nems from an original 66 or so. They just don't all make it, can't make it... But WE tries!!! Not always easy to get them in pic since they're small, especially hiding in dark crevices. 5 Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Wow, sooooo many babies!!! I'm excited to follow your progress on this, especially as they get bigger and you start working on another generation of babies. Quote Link to comment
OldManSea Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Very nice! I am following closely as I have become hooked on this species. 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Another baby went in. It wasn't open and was at the front of the glass of the 40g. I fed all in this tank that were open which was 5 of the 7. Here's a pic of the scarlet in the tank. I don't know if he eats the algae or not but I'm trying. I did feed him a little shrimp this evening. I haven't give him anything the week he was in the tank, hoping he'd eat a little. You can't see much but that the substrate isn't as clean as it was. New tank uglies. 3 Quote Link to comment

OldManSea Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ricordea are nice, too - in fact everything has some appeal. Rock flowers were love at first site. 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have 5 babies in the NICU but more in the big tank. My biggest in the 40g is 1/4". The ones in the nursery are all smaller but 3 are getting stronger. I'm fine w/ the strongest surviving though I'd certainly like as many to survive as I can. 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Wow, seriously overdue for an update. Sorry, I've gotten busier with selling make-up. Trying to get people to sign up under you is just not easy. Even though we're about to boom! Anyway, I have 4 nems in this tank. I put too much coral frenzy and I ended up w/ a little red mess over a about a week. Doing a good water change in a few days. What's good is it makes the substrate stick together so I can pick the red up and move it to the back of the tank. My regular Par 38 that I've had on since 2013 turned off. It may be broken permanently, but at least I had some others too. Or hopefully it just got warm, and it will be ok. I've not put it back in to see if it still works when cool. But here's my favorite. It's adorable. It's cuties like this that really keep me going. 5 Quote Link to comment
OldManSea Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Those babies are really cool. While there may be no such thing as an ugly baby, I like the first one the best, too. 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thank You, there are more in my big tank but not in a spot that I can remove them. Boo hoo. I'm going to transfer when I'm able.

LVDon Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm interested in converting my 20g IM tank into a RFA tank. Where do you get your Rock Flower Anemones from? I'm retired and looking for a good inexpensive source. So far I have been looking at KP Aquatics and GotCorals. Any suggestions??? 1 Quote Link to comment
