An American living in Germany

Hi everyone,
I thought I would start off here.
I was Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. I came to Germany in 1988 as a GI.
I left the Military (after Desert Storm and 2 further peace keeping tours) and returned to Germany in 1995.
I have always had an Aquarium. In 2000 I got the urge to try salt water.




After Several Moves, and a Bad Divorce. I am remarried and we have bought a House in the Heidelberg, Germany region.
If My English or Grammar is bad, sorry, just been over here too Long.

Sorry if some of the Names are in German, I Used a German Lexicon Website for the ID’s. That Latin name should still be the same.

Hi,
Nope the Ane was there first. She has not wandert at all.
I have two in the Tank, a red and a green Anemone.

Both have found there places and stayed there over the last two years.

The red anemone has split twice. I just remove the small Anemonen and place them in a seperate tank till they are sold.....
