Aquarium Advice FINatic
So.I found a new LFS. 15min in the other direction. It's a wholesale place, so the pries are 25-50% less and there is 10x's the selection.
So I went on a little shopping spree.
1 Big Beautiful hunk of Green Star Polyps on a piece of rock with at least 5 or six feather dusters in it.
1 small piece of what I think are Clove Polyps (I will be posting picks for positive ID)
1 lb of LR pieces, all with some kind of coral on them (shrooms, and stuff I will be posting pics of for ID) ...My old LFS never had coral on it's LR.
AND...I started looking at anenomies...
I spoke with the owner.....VERY knowledgeable...... He showed me all the varieties of anenomie that would be best for a Gold Stripe Maroon Clown. I paced back and forth for an hour, trying to pick one out. I wanted a RBTA...but I saw this white one (actually more like florescent lime green) and it kept catching my eye saying "take me". So I took him. The owner said since I took so long to find a friend for my clown, he gave me 50% off the BTA.
Drip acclimated everyone for 2.5 hours. put them in the tank and within an hour the green stars started popping out, a few of the cloves opened.
And low and behold who do I see rolling around in, swimming in and rubbing against the BTA but my clown!!!! HOORAY!!!! It only took an hour for him to host it!
Needless to say, I'm quite smitten with myself right now. Was so worried he would ignore the BTA.
