I would be interested in hearing a little more about the attractant. Is this something that the company would add to the shrimp or something that...
i feed my anemones once a week. i just hand feed them pieces of whatever seafood (shrimp, scallops, squid, smelt, etc.) i buy from the fresh seafood...
that is too high in my opinion. well, so much for my theory.
glad to hear the clown is doing better. That's one tough little girl.
i wouldn't try it with a 2 bulb. You might be able to get away with a 4 bulb with a derasa but i can't speak from experience. i have a derasa under a...

the op says he has a sandbox in there.
what type of water movement do you have in there to replenish oxygen? You might increase the surface agitation.
probably. either that or they didn't survive the rough times like power outages or water quality issues and I just never noticed.
not a problem. your post made me realize that even though i had them all over the place when i first set up the tank, i haven't seen one in probably...
