Recently split clone. Not sure which is the original, but I'm selling the top one for $25. Might involve you taking ownership of the rock that it's on if I can't peaceably separate it from it's rock.

The color is typically a little darker than it shows now, but with this coloration you can see the rose tips rather nicely. They really stand out under actinics.

Should be noted that this particular anemone stretches out to about the size of a football.

This would also have to be planned out a bit so I wouldn't expect a quick jaunt out to my place for a quick exchange.

No offense to traders... But I'm not adding coral or fish to my tank.

Okay, you all are in order as posted above.

BBQ,
He's under 20k MH although he was under T5 (10 54 watt bulbs) for about a year and a half before I switched over to MH.

I used to feed it a squirt or two of whatever I was feeding the fish... But I stopped doing that about a year and a half ago or so. This is the fourth or fifth time it split since I've had it, at one point I had three of them in there.

I got it originally from Mizeny... Maybe two years ago? It was my second attempt at anemones. This one is pretty hardy as I'm not an expert. But it gets very large! The only time I've seen it bubble tip is after it's been hiding for a bit or is a little stressed. Other than that it's a long tentacle.

I don't have him anywhere. He positioned himself in the top right section of the tank where he gets an alternating flow provided by a nearby 1400 hydor.

He will move on you!

I never moved any coral as he's moving, but once in a position that I thought he would keep I moved stuff away from him although he's not killed anything.

Currently he brushes lovingly against some green ricordias, AOG zoas, and a colony of purple tip acro. He did at one time fool with a green slimer, agitated it really. So I moved that away from him.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, not yet. It splits about three times every two years or so.
