Very similar to mushrooms and apparently were mistaken as such for years. Also apparently you can frag them like mushrooms.

Oh neat! Do you know if they ever reach out and sting anything?(I have zero experience with anemones but people always seem to talk about losing stuff to them). I wonder how they'd fare in a nano tank?

Apparently they can sting corals but their sting isn't very strong and generally they stay in the spot you put them and they tend not to move around much. They are great for nano tanks because they stay small, don't need strong light and host anemone crabs and sexy shrimp. I went to the store to pick up another one (I had wanted the orangeish ones they had) but unfortunately they only had purple/green ones left. I posted a link in the maxi mini thread I started but I'll post it here too.

I was looking at some of my old photos and saw this pic of my blue line trigger when he was a juvi about 2 inches

It's amazing how much he's grown! He's about 5-6 inches now.

Ya it's crazy how different juvi's look from adults. Normally it's mostly with angels so it's been cool to see change with my trigger.

I've seen them for sale at Ocean City (now called Ocean Creation) in Calgary and at Blue World in Edmonton. I'm sure Red Coral could also get them in.

As for the mini check big als next time your in Edmonton

Newest addition my juvi 1" Blueline angelfish

These pic's were taken the day I got him on Oct 9th. He's in my FOWLR tank for now. I thought since he was so small that my king angel would ignore him, unfortunately that's not the case, but for the most part the King leaves him alone. Just chases him into the rock work every now and then, hasn't hurt him yet. It's strange to cause the blueline angel is literally the same size as the King angels tail so you'd think since he's so small he wouldn't even bother with him.
