Looking good for 9 wks. What is that big orange thing on the top of the rocks? A sponge?

 

[Memphis the parrot]

yes some sort of orange sponge

Wow a sponge and an anemone in a 9 week old tank. both are rather difficult to care for, (the condy being one of the hardier anemones) and require pristine water conditions.

Liking that rockwork; lots of places to attach corals to, but keep in mind, that anemone is going to move about and has the potential to grow to about 15".

Sugar thank you for the information it was very helpfull. I read up on everything before I put it in my tank so that I am able to care for it properly. Also the enemone is actually a Long Tentacle Anemone

oooh LTA - in that case you are looking at an anemone that has the potential to reach 3'. I just removed one from my 30 cube because it had grown from 3" to 10" in about 8 months and was stinging some of my corals.

sugar that enemone was removed this weekend, but her was a newer shot before it was removed

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

did you have any problems getting it out? I had to remove 80% of the LR in my 30 to get to that darn thing. It had scooted itself completely under the LR it was attatched to. PITA!

 

[Memphis the parrot]

No I just worked it very slowly off of the rock

Memphis,

Nice set up I like the way your rocks tower to the top like a pyramid. Gives you a different look which is nice. Have you given it some thought to upgrade your lights?

If you haven't already you should take a look at my pics. I did do an upgrade and have been loving the small investment.

did the clown ever host the condy?

stock lighting ??

Is that the stock lighting? I asked about keeping anemones on here, and got a major no no on that with the stock lighting. I hope you have more than the stock 48watts. i heard and read they are light hungry and from my brother I heard they'll do laps around your tank to find a decent spot where it could get some lighting. I think a long tenacle plate coral would be nice, it at least resembles one and it stays where you put it

Clowns will not host condy anemones.
