Update Anemone/Clam tank. Clown is hosting!

[RayAllen]

Ive redone my 39g display and turned it into a Anemone/Clam tank. All Live rock now with a really cool flat shelf bridge. So far I have a crocea clam and a LTA Anemone aka M Doreensis. Still going to add a H Magnifica or Rose BTA and a Maxima Clam eventually. Here are the pics:bigsmile:

The anemone rolled around for a while and finally settled next to the rock island.

[JimD]

Do you plan to have a species tank or a mixed anemone tank?

[RayAllen]

My plan is to have 2 species M Doreensis on the sand because its a substrate anemone and to have the other -Rose BTA on the rocks where it prefers to be.

Looks nice Ray. I love that he settled on the island's edge. Very cool spot!

[jrsatx20]

so big u would think it was 6 of them

[RayAllen]

Wow, if its that big it must be around $100. I small one can run you $60

[Mr Cob]

She hosting yet?

[RayAllen]

unfortunatley not. The clown has acted like its interested and swims around it a lot but thats about it. I may trade the clown for another one or a pair that I know will host. I have yet to find another cinnamon in the local stores. Have not decided yet what im going to do. The anemone has eaten though; a good size 3" silverside on Sunday.

How freaking Ironic! Rob you asked me that question earlier today and I obviously responded with the post above disappointed. Then just 5 minutes ago Im on my couch putting my shoes on, turn and look and the clown is in the anemone! Woo hoo! I got my camera real fast and got this shot.

What type of substrate are you using, it looks so round?

Red Sea sand, man made product. It is round in shape, but you only really notice if really close.
