Looking great Laurie! Love that anemone(s are there 2 there or just one?). I assume cuz they're called "mini-maxi's" they stay small (ish)? They kind of look like hairy mushrooms but prettier

There is just one (for now ) I took that pic of it the day after I added it to the tank. It has since fully opened up, in that pic it's partly tucked into the rock. The maxi minis grow around 2-5 inches, mine is around 3-4". Very similar to mushrooms and apparently were mistaken as such for years. Also apparently you can frag them like mushrooms.

Oh neat! Do you know if they ever reach out and sting anything?(I have zero experience with anemones but people always seem to talk about losing stuff to them). I wonder how they'd fare in a nano tank?

Apparently they can sting corals but their sting isn't very strong and generally they stay in the spot you put them and they tend not to move around much. They are great for nano tanks because they stay small, don't need strong light and host anemone crabs and sexy shrimp. I went to the store to pick up another one (I had wanted the orangeish ones they had) but unfortunately they only had purple/green ones left. I posted a link in the maxi mini thread I started but I'll post it here too.

When Doug was visiting at the beginning of the month he bought this guy

an orange formia starfish (funny thing is I'll try forever to get a pic of my flame angel and fail miserably but in both pic's I took of the starfish there he is go figure)

I was looking at some of my old photos and saw this pic of my blue line trigger when he was a juvi about 2 inches



It's amazing how much he's grown! He's about 5-6 inches now.

I now know what my next trigger is going to be thanks Laurie. That mini is so nice, I want some now
