well i play by the rules, i guess ill get a permit. lol fishmaster, i work at vanaqua. Yeah i know about the strawberries, and i do plan on having some of them too. they are not what im talking about though. these anemones get quite large and are a darker pink with white speckles on the stalk. not colonial. Ill figure it out on saturday when i go back to work. and then of course there's the giant green anemone which would set a nice contrat to the pink/red.

Too funny, how does a guy get a tour of the back room???nudge, nudge, wink, wink. There's a few amnones like you describe, sounds like the white spotted. Could be the fish eating, but it's foot is solid red with no spots??? The green's are cool too. So many choices.................
As for the barnacles, I bought some used gear off a girl who had a tide pool tank and everything was covered in tiny barnacles. They were doing very well. I think they could be the aptasia of cold water if you wern't carfull. They probably came in as plankton when she introduced fish or spawned in the tank. Who knows?????
