adinsxq Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 i went a little crazy today hunting for babies (tore apart the rockwork). found one very tiny one under one of the rocks; pretty sure it's going to die. found two more in my filter (H.O.T. magnum with carbon). the two in the filter were a little larger than the runt, but kind of squashed. the original's got a hefty lead on the others in terms of size and eats. ive fed it two baby guppies over the past few days mother must have torn something during the birth... was all slimed over when i got home today. nothing too scary yet; it's happened before when there was some sort of irritant that wouldn't blow off Link to comment

supernip Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi kinda off topic but if anyone in norcal is interested in owning a similar anemone, Mann's anemone, Cladactella manni, T&T aquarium has one they're selling. Not as cute as the Waratah SXQ has but very similar and hardy as heck. additional info is here: http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/invertebr...ckhianemone.htm fwiw, I had one once and it was impossible to kill. We dubbed it penis anemone for obvious reasons Link to comment

Gren Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Your tank looks amazing. Just seeing that anemone makes me want to start a cold water tank just for it. Its absolutely amazing! Link to comment

jeremai Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 How are the babies fairing? Link to comment
Cesar Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Those are cool looking man. Link to comment
adinsxq Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 babies are doing ok...feed them either freeze dried cyclopeeze clumps or frozen mysis once a day. they're honestly not nearly as red as the mother; they're more purple-ish. the tank they've been living in has does not have a light over it.. maybe that has something to do with it. whenever i get around ($$) to building a better setup for them, hopefully they'll color up. anyway, i plucked them out (they're all on one rock so it's easy) and put them in the clownfish's tank for a photo: (pretty much aiptasia i guess ) Link to comment
jeremai Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Hmm, Anthony Calfo seems to believe these are photosynthetic. Crazy guy. Link to comment

adinsxq Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 i <3 calfo. he signed my book! <3 wasn't being sarcastic. i really don't have a light over that tank Link to comment
jeremai Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Eh, it was some random comment made in response to an email on WWM... unless it's made it into print, I'd take it with a grain of salt. If the babies are still alive and kicking, good on ya - I'm looking at picking a few up myself soon. Link to comment
