Updating Alan on his possible anemone

[Tau2301]

Alan;

As you probably know I was the recipient of Tony’s last anemone split. I find it to be a terrific animal. He has been in my tank for 4 weeks now and is doing very well according to Tony and Linda – Yes, you have to give visitation rights. :D

I also have two percs/ocellaris that I am hoping will use this anemone as a host. They nosed around the anemone in the second week and have not been back since. At least not to my knowledge, no big deal, just would be nice.

My six-line spends more time around the anemone as it took over his favorite crevasse. The six-line swims by constantly hoping that the intruder has moved on, but no such luck.

The anemone is getting use to me putting my hand near it to feed him. I find that squeezing the shrimp chunks near him seems to stimulate him and he begins to reach up. He also stretches up towards my hand even when I am just cleaning the glass.

Any way I am not trying to convince you to get one. Just thought I would pass on how enjoy able an interactive creature can be.

The best acquisition is always one well thought out.
