Eeek, I just got home and took a look at my light - it's actualy 130w - will check water parameters soon and post.

tank is 35 gal hex... I think it's something around 250 w

The only fish I have are three clowns. I've got the CF, actinic/daylight lighting setup

Off and on - day and night.

Hi Have a purple tip condy. It has been pulling all of it's tentacles into it's foot until it looks like an oblong pink balloon. Has anyone ever heard of this behavior?

Thanks Melosu58, I read that they eat "meaty foods" but I could not find where they specify how often.

I just got one myself and like him very much. He has been stationary since I got him a week ago (after finding the piece of rock he wanted to sit on.) The silly person at th e LFS was selling them from the same tank as the clowns, giving the impression they were good hosts. I was told to feed...

Very interesting... that is almost identical to what is happening with me - same story. EDIT: Nevermind, Fish Stix is my bf.... duh!

It was my understanding that the carpet is the natural host for the percula clown, what would you suggest as a proper host?

LOL, I was wrong - it is definately a condy. So, will there be any problems if I introduce a carpet, bubble or saddle in addition to the condy?

The sebae looks more like it. I'm guessing it won't host a clown either? :cry:

Can multiple clowns host in the same anenome?

Ah... thank you very very much

Actually it has long tentacles (?) rather than bubbly ones. It looks a lot like this... http://www.members.shaw.ca/exoticsealifepix/images/ESP1-PurpleTipAnemone.jpg I've tried to google for the specifc name but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. EDIT: Hmmmm, I guess my answer was in...

I just bought an anenome that is white with little purple tips. Does anyone know what type of anenome this it? Sorry, didn't get a pic before I left for work this morning.

Wow! Thanks for all the great advice!

So my husband reached into our tank the other day and had a sensitive spot on his finger from a small scratch, when he did he felt a small shock. He got out his thingamijig that measures electrial current and found that there were about 20 millivoltz (if i remember what he said correctly)...

My cleaner is a clean freak! He cleans everything and is very active. When I add flake food he jumps around and gets very excited - he's very fun to watch and one of my favorite inhabitants.

OK, TAlk about not paying attention.... LOL. That is the same product I'm feeding my scallop. Thanks for the fast reply. :-D

Well so far he seems to be doing well. I feed him with a turkey baster each evening and I'm crossing my fingers. :-D Are there any signs to watch for that would mean that he is not getting enough nutrition? I guess my fear is that I may think he's doing fine and then all of a sudden find...

Thanks Steve - that was just what I was looking for, very informative. It really is a shame when the lfs will sell you something that has such a dismal life in captivity and not tell you. :-( I think I will be looking for a new store.

Thanks Steve-s! I am finding a very difficult time finding care info on this beautiful creature. The interesting thing is that the gravel like stuff is building up then I find it on the sand in front of him. Is this a way of expelling waste? After getting the scallop I found that they don't...

Hopefully I am posting in the wrong forum.... I've noticed a small spot that looks kind of like a piece of gravel on the front inside of my flaming scallop. Is this normal or is this a bad sign?

I really appreciate your advice. I am adding phytoplankton to my water, will that work or do I need something more?

Thanks Fluff, that worked. That is really too bad :-( He is such a character and I hate to lose him.
