Ill try to get some soon. he's really very inquisitive now, so it shouldnt be hard. I wish my camera could catch the fluorescence of the anemone a bit better, in the light its a bright green color!

Here are some more of the BT, some of the octopus, and some of the clown hosting in the BT (he loves it! i wish my camera had a faster shutter speed though)

So you haven't had any problems with the octo trying to eat the clown yet?

Does the safety of the anemone keep him safe from the octopus or does it's skin hard enough where it doesn't feel the sting?

incysor and dragon

not sure why the octo hasnt tried to eat the clown yet. We havent had the BT for long, so i doubt thats whats keeping the clown safe. One would want to say they're like friends. But obviousy, especially as a bio major, i couldnt ever say that. The clown often gets very close to the octo, and at times (namely feeding times) the clown will "herd" the crab towards the octopus by scaring it over. A bit rediculous, but funny to watch. I think the real explination comes from the fact that the octo is well fed.

more pics to come, im sure

(next year we're moving the 10 into our 20)
