Here are my SPS corals.

These are two small Red Monti Cap's. The photo really doesn't show it's true red color.


This is a green table acro. It was very bleached and brown when I bought it. It is recovering just fine now !


Last is a purple acro I bought two weeks ago. It's still needs more time to get it's color back. It's still very brown.

Those are gonna look great once they get settled in!

I spy an anenome!

agsansoo

Yeah ... That one of my many Aiptasia anemones ... I tried a peppermint shrimp to get rid of them (natural approach) ... Didn't work. Tried Aiptasia control yesterday. Kills all the ones you can reach !
I do still have a GBTA. I will post new photos of my tank tonight. My rose anemone died a few week ago.

Nice sps corals, you make me jealous.

sorry about your anenome

agsansoo

Me too ! It hid behind the rocks where I couldn't feed it anymore. I was hoping it would move back to the front of the tank ... it didn't !

i think i was told that corals and anemone wouldn't live happily together in the same tank.. but is that not true? I want anemone for maroon clowns but would love some of those corals.. i also have read conflicting information on whether or not i could stock more than 2 clowns in 1 tank.. what do you say agsansoo?

that's a shame about your rose anemone .. they're beauties.

Lookin' good.

A Bubble Tip Anemone (BTA) is pretty reef safe, because they seem to stay put once they find they're happy spot in the tank. More than two clown in one tank is possible, if conditions are right. Large tank with multiple anemones. A clown fish that is hosting an anemone rarely strays away too long from his turf (anemone). So clowns living on oppsite sides on a tank is doable (out of sight - out of mind). Though not recommended.

I was sad about the rose anemone, but not surprised. He was a rescue anemone from the start. I had no idea my female clown would be so rough on him. Next rose I get, I will place him in my refugium for a while before exposing him to my maroon clowns !

thanks for the info.. i think if we do a SW tank out of the 30g tall, 1 pair of clowns would be it then. and you'd recommend a refugium for anemone to go in before they go out into the main part of the tank?

agsansoo

Only if the anemone is bleached (weak & stressed). I should have QT'ed the anemone until it colored up again. A good rule to follow is, buy anemone first than introduce clown fish to a tank. Though everybody does it the other way around. LOL Me included.

i see. yea, i can understand wanting to get the clowns in first.

Update:
Here my red monti cap. It has grown a little in a month.


Next is my table acro, it's doing great. Getting very dark green.


Next up is my purple acro that had turned brown. It started to bleach and now starting to color up. The white is turning purple again !


Last is my newest addition. It's a Stylophora !
