Hey, nice. You decided to give an anemone a try in your SPS tank? :biggrin: Where did you get it? Mail order or road trip or LFS?

omg nice
where'd you get it ?

Wow, nice work Brad! Looks like a good size too. Who'd a-thunk you'd be a 'nem guy? :wink:

I got this at the LFS. Special order kinda deal.
Sam, I'm not sure what tank I'll put it in, since I got my 40 frag tank up and running. ALthough it looks like it's enjoying the halides already. I have 2 spots in the display tank that would suit it well, so I might try it there.
Sam, any placement advice from a pro?? :razz:

Good score Brad. Well, to protect your huge investment, place it initially in the lowest flow area you can find. This will give it a chance to get a good strong grip on the rock and not get blown around by strong currents in an SPS tank. The last thing you want is to introduce mr. rose to mr. powerhead. Once its happy in the low current area, it will learn that that is the best spot for it and it won't move. In my tank, my anemones sit directly below my Maxijet 1200 so it doesn't get any of the flow directed at it. It will not move to the higher flow areas of the tank. This is how I keep it from wandering around.

Another idea is to put it in an isolation container (in your tank) with a rock in it so that it can stick to that rock first. Then in a few days or weeks, place the rock into your tank far away from flow and powerheads.

Haha, thats funny. :mrgreen:

I'm so envious, it is lovely Brad. :cool:

Thanks Em. I'm kinda nervous about whether I can take care of it properly. It seems so fragile compared to my fuzzy sticks. It's in the tank now adjusting to it's spot. Hopefully it stays there and does well. Maybe it will split and we'll all have little roses!! :razz:

Any ideas on how us landlocked Calgarians could get some :question: :question: :sad:
