Time for Josh to take a bow. Ok Carmen ...it may be a while before I will be able to take pics of it, so I might as well tell you the story. I have for the longest time been telling people that I didnt think I would ever add an anemone to my tank. I was nervous about equipment mishaps and their tendency to wander around until they find a place where they are happy, all the while wiping out every coral they touch. I thought they were evil See, we got these absolutely incredible rose BTAs in at the shop (just ask Tony) on Saturday and I admired them from afar all day. By the end of Sunday I had had enough admiring and decided to take one home. I place it on a rock in a spot Im hoping it will like enough to call home and put a length of of 3" diameter tubing around it to help it feel secure. About a half hour or so later I notice that the tubing has drifted off the nem and amazingly it has already taken hold of the rock. So I take the tubing out and go to bed later that night with the nem still where I put it. I get up the next morning and first thing(even before coffee) I go to find the flashlight to check on "Rosie" and shes gone Oh no.....I start looking at the coral to see if I can tell where it may have walked off to. Dont see any signs of dead coral... dont see Rosie either... start checking the overflows....nothing...oh no....start checking the power heads.....ROSIE....@#$%!!! Sucked into a koralia2 I have stashed behind the rockwork. I turned the powerhead off expecting Rosie to just fall out of it dead, but that didnt happen so I reach in to physically remove her from the powerhead and she's hanging on to it. Ok, so I havnt killed it in the first night. I left the powerhead off all day while I was at work hoping Rosie would crawl out of the cage she was trapped in by herself, but she didnt and I had to rescue her when I got home tonight. I have tried the tubing again but I put a heavier rock on this time. Man I hope she pulls through.
