    porcelain crabs

    If you have clowns that host, they may battle it out. These crabs can also stress an anemone out if its not a very large anemone.

    How many people run a UV

    Feeding a RBTA

    Sorry. Hikira makes squid and krill that is chopped. You shouldnt feed anemones large peices of anything. Finger nail size at most. If an anemone is smaller then 6 or seven inches it can inly really eat 4 or 5 mysis. Anemones are like a complex bag of water. If something gets stuck in one...

    Cool Article on Clowns and Nems

    Paul they are bringing food to the anemone so that they can rip off peices why the anemone holds it still. It also most times leads to the nem getting a snack. This is another reason why i acclimate wild caught clownfish with anemones. They are never found apart. So there must be some benefit...

    Purple LTA losing color.

    Mixing anemones species can be tricky even with bubbles and carpets and even some leathers corals will respond negatively and vice versa. Any pics?

    Anyone using Royal Nature Salt yet?

    From what i have read and looked into, it sounds like a really great product. Its is natural salt. Its made through a desalinization process that from what they said makes it sounds like a very pure product. I plan on using it but at this point i plan on giving it a try out.

    Has Anyone considered using our Ocean"s Water???

    If you run the water through the UV at a high flow rate you will kill off less of the beneficial but you have to remember you cant always assure the water is 100 percent clean. Better safe then sorry. The farther you go out into the ocean the more diluted the water is because its farther away...
