Try leaving out the red part. Flower Anemones come in many colors, and depending on specie they can look different. That's my best guess, but there's a lot of weird nems out there. Have you touched it? Is it sticky? Did you get a palpable sting? I don't condone touching an unknown nem, though I would do it.

It stings? Ooooo, lemme try! That's how I got stung by a Pacific Sea Nettle. They are the only Jellyfish in ocean near Vancouver Island that actually sting...not that I'd know.

Still stumped on an ID, clowns haven't touched it either so I'm doubting the purchase (Although it is a wicked looking nem). It certainty is sticky, in Vegas they have touch tanks where you can poke and prod nems all day long .

Anyone have any insight for influencing my clowns to host? Ken @ Blue world said I should use a clay pot but they completely ignored it and continue to host on silicone. Wont touch the pulsing xenia, Mushrooms or 3 different types of nems.

My bro is heading to Thailand and picked up a new Cannon, really excited to learn how to use it but here are some quick shots.

Wow pics with the new camera def look nicer man.

I'm so envious of ppl able to keep zoas happy. All my params seem to be in order...sps doing really well...zoas love to melt away on me. I have a few patches doing ok but it's frustrating. The larger the colony introduced the better luck I have but even then it's not been a garantee.

Regardless...lemme know when those frags are ready =)
