    Well my camera takes bad pics but these ones turned out OK, here's my HUGE BTA, he spans like 8 inches! There were some *alright* shots of the entire tank from a distance, but the files were a little too big to upload here. Ill see what I can get with my mom's camera next time she stops by. 8) And an update, since Ive been pretty discouraged with my online order of corals. I decided never to do that again, and bought today from my LFS an NICE Hammer coral and and small rock of pulsing Xenia. They were both doing WONDERFULLY after only an hour or so in the tank. Lesson learned. :eek:

    Yea I know. Thats why I waited a few years (after my first couple anemones died) before trying it again. My water, according to my 2 different water tests and my LFS, is PRISTINE. Also, I have more than 6WPG (3x96W PCs over 46gal), and feed it silversides every other day. It found its spot after less than 12 hours in the tank and has not moved since. The flow is good there. I think I'll be pretty successful this time around. In comparison, my light is as intense as yours, coral reefer, and how is your tube anemone? How often do you feed it?

    I feed it maybe twice a week as far as say brine shrimp or clam is concerned, however i'm sure it receives food when I feed my corals(phytoplankton and zooplankton).
