    So I have just got a Super Colored Long Tentacle Anemone Macrodactyla doreensis.. I like it any advice tips or anything seems okay but I would not know lol here are three picks with the different lights. It was alot bigger in the lfs but I assume it just need to get used to the tank I suppose. Will my clowns take to it u think they sleep right above that area that's why I put it there?

    Also that's crusty the clown lol

    DO LOTS OF READING/RESEARCH

    That's all the advice I have or can give... other than this type likes atleast 4" of fine sand or mud to bury it's foot in... make sure your substrate is deep enough, and light strong enough.

    Its really cool. Would love to get a blue one. But he spends most the time on back walls I can't see him up front but its okay I don't mind getting up look from time to time.

    I'm sure my little goby is a gonner have night seen him since night one.. I doubt it was shirmp but that cardinal I dunno about him I have not seen aggression bit then agin I'm not up at night.

    My lta seems fine it has not.moved from the spot where.I put it. Alot of its fingers lol are full and it looks good. But two questions if it not going good how would I know?
    Second question why is the outside blue but inside more white and I think even brown.
