    Dumb clowns

    Hi guys Well, the title kinda summarises it. Went to the LFS (jem aquatics, canberra; australia) and they had nice big long tentacled (3-4") Catalaphyllias (note, cattys here and in singapore are okay, dont get affected by the elegance disease you guys seem to be experiencing). So i...

    Are my Anemones Bleached?

    Hi I got 2 tiny BTAs (about 1.25" expanded) from the LFS. Theyre obviously clones or maybe sexually produced juvis. Anyway, whats wierd is the smaller (shorter bosy column) one has about 30 tentacles, all usually thin normal tentacles which bubble up slightly after feeding. The other one...

    BTA anyone?

    Hi, Was thinking of getting a carpet for my 35cm cube and upgrading as he gets bigger; however, seems doubtful i'd be able to get a small 4-5" specimen. BTAs, on the other hand, come in that size, and host most clowns. Anyone had experience with these guys? Ive only had experience with...
