teenyreef Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Doug's been great with the corals, but I don't have any anemones in his tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'll tell you this, that Fiji puffer is a little shit with anemones and zooanthids. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
thespinningsadhu Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 So I discovered today that I'm shit at painting fish. But here you go anyway. I have a deal with myself - if I start the piece intending to share it then I must share it - no matter what. 10 2 Quote Link to comment

gena Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 This is the second fish art I've seen. They are fantastic! You should make note cards out of them. Or greeting cards. Sell a set of them. I'd buy them . Nice work! 5 Quote Link to comment

Friendly Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 hey Christy, do you have the ability to take a close up panorama FTS? I'm really curious to get a 'feel' for it and where your livestock is placed. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have a mushroom hospital set up in there right now and I have everything moved around. 20 minutes ago, yungKitten said: #savemonti Yes!

teenyreef Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I gave up on rfa's in my tank after mine went on a walk of mass destruction, randomly stinging almost every single coral in the tank. I sent it to FlowerMama and it has never moved in her tank. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
gone_PHiSHin Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 do RFAs 'prefer' to be on or near the sandbed? is it light and flow dependent? or is it really just luck of the drawn? Quote Link to comment

They like to attach to something hard like a rock, tank wall, or even the tank bottom (through the sand bed). Sometimes they will stay close to the substrate, and other times they seem to prefer being up on a rock. 2 Quote Link to comment
Friendly Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 is there any way to tie them down, so they're 'forced' to become stationary...where you want them to be? 1 Quote Link to comment

Not really. They have a foot that they attach to the rock or tank bottom. If they don't like where they because of too much light, too little light, too much flow, too little flow, too narrow a crevice for the foot, too big a crevice for the foot, too much food, too little food, etc., etc., then they either walk around on the foot like a really slow snail, or they just let go and literally go with the flow. Some people have tanks that anemones love and they seem to be happy wherever they're put. Other people (like me) have tanks where they aren't happy no matter where they go. 4 Quote Link to comment

If it let's go again I may scoop it up and sell it...... but of course now that it's stinging my prized monti it seems happy as can be. 9 hours ago, gone_PHiSHin said: do RFAs 'prefer' to be on or near the sandbed? is it light and flow dependent? or is it really just luck of the drawn?

When I am trying to take a FTS they will stop and turn to the front of the tank and look directly at me. If I am trying to take a pic of a coral, they will with out fail photo bomb by swimming into the field and blocking the shot. I assume this is just a feeding response but I like to think they are doing it on purpose! 1 4 Quote Link to comment

Plop it down next to the anemone so you can move its tentacles away from whatever it's stinging. 7 hours ago, WV Reefer said: That is the way my dwarf angel behaved...... in my early pics she is almost always somewhere in the shot.
