Purple Bubbletip

ReeferNets

Here are the pics... It came in tuesday morning and they didnt put any heat packs in the box. The temp was 62 in the box. Did a three and a half hour acclimation and this is what i got. Francis if all goes well and you wana pony up your the first to get a split from this bad boy.

The base is magenta and the tents are green with white and purple tips... in the words of Paris Hitlon Thats Hot.

Dr Foster and Smith a bunch of them in. This was the last one. I am still debating weathers it Bubble tip or not and if its dyed.

Good news its seems to acclimating well. It has anchored into the rocks and fully inflated. Both my male and female clowns have been welcoming and playing with the new nem. More pics to come.

I tried to feed it today and wasnt succesful. The mouth is not as tight as id like but for a nem that made it to me in 62 degree water it looks amazing

Update:

Upon further inspecitipon while it moved around i found a tear in the foot. One of dr foster and smiths customer reps called me and informed me that the nem was likely not going to make it. They apologized for not placing heat packs in the box and shipping me a specimin that might not have been healthy.

As of now the mouth is completely agape and innereds are showing. As i said the mouth didnt tighten up on this nem considering the cold cold journey it had im suprised it make it to me alive.

Sorry to hear about that. Will they send you a new specimine. When you spend top dollar for livestock and they dont send it with heat packs and it ends up with a problem like a torn foot and might die, Im sorry doesnt really cut it. mao

They are a good company unfortunately it was a bad shipping job. They are giving me a full refund and putting me on a wait list when they get new ones

Good point: if you don't get a full credit you'll have to pay the shipping twice. I've been able to argue the case for them to eat the shipping along with the credit for the animal . You just have to put up a good fight.

Its def gonna be a little longer before it will let me get some good pics.

Its going from 36 watt PCS two bulbs to a 150 20k MH. Its been a week and the anemone is doing well.

This morning i moved one of the rocks covering it and it shrunk down from the extra light. It still needs time to adjust. I got a couple more pics i took this am let me see if an are clearer.

Here is one from far away you can see it poking through

Peek a boo look who came out. I think these are what you guys wanted to see. It looks like magenta or light purple with flash and no lights.

Lights off with Flash.
