When I said move the anem, I was saying that if it had just been introduced and was on a piece of live rock that could be moved. I agree, I would not be in there trying to force it off of a piece of rock or whatever. My point was when my clowns were hosting my frogspawn, I pulled the frogspawn...
If you can, move the frogspawn to a different area and move the anem to where the frogspawn is. I did that with my clowns and they jumped right into the anem. If they are comfortable in the anem it is going to take a long time for them to make the jump.
Sorry, thought you meant you were coming down from way up north. It is late and I did just finish watching Duke win so I am a little slow. Well hopefully it will help someone else out. :)
Have not posted some pics in a while and they have all been coral pics, so now some fish pics.

Depending what way you are coming back I would hit up Tropiquarium and reef to reptiles as they are right across the street from each other in Ocean NJ. They are about 2 miles off the parkway which makes it easy to get back on and off (exit 100a if you are going north). Further up the parkway...
Take the sand and put it in a bucket with salt water and rinse it. Keep doing this with fresh saltwater until the water comes out pretty clear. Keep it in salt water to keep it live sand and then you can add it back. People have had luck with pvc pipe and using that to slowly add the sand back...
I am very very happy to see it went to a serious breeder. I am glad such a rare fish is in good hands and hopefully will wind up being aquacultured. Also read about your collection program, very impressive.
Did you leave the frogspawn in the tank or take it out? Our clowns were hosting our frogspawn so we got rid of it and added an anemome. They went staright to the anem and started hosting within a day. They were picassos which are true percs.
The only place I have seen it is premiumaquatics.com. I have asked my local LFS and they all say it is not on their list yet. I read that same thread over at RC and have been thinking about getting it myself. I currently use tropic maric pro with their bio actif supplement, but I want to try the...
It was when you setup the tank first, fill it with fresh water than add the salt into it. However during that they said salt should always be added second.
So I get to try something new this weekend for water changes. I will let you know if I see anything different.
So I was in Trop this past week and they have the video playing from Red Sea about setting up one of their all in one tanks. They get to the part about filling it and then mixing the salt in and say ALWAYS put the water in first and then mix the salt in. Now I have always done it the oppositve...
