No new pics, just a story. I had my wife pic up one when I was out of town, I had her put it in a small plastic basket and attach the basket to the side of the tank with the mag float. Long story short he went for a walk over night which isn't very surprising but I thought he should be easy to find. That was two and a half weeks ago and it's wasn't until yesterday I finally found him. What is weird is he decided to travel about three feet across the tank passing by many spots he could have set up shop, tons on rock etc. but he decided that a good spot to be was right beside three other Maxi mini's on a rock sitting out on it's own...nice choice lol. It was like the other three were calling him " come join us, come join us!!"

So a strange thing happened over the past few days, two of my maxi minis (the ones pictured above) both split. I had thought that it was unusual for them to split on their own and that to get them to split the needed to be sliced in half Anyone have one split on it's own before? Maybe they had help from my blue line trigger? Any thoughts/ideas?

Edit: just re-read though the coral magazine link about maxi minis and they do split on their own.

Just seemed odd that two of them split a day apart from each other. They were different sizes when I bought them and I got them a couple of months apart as well.

They just split and need to recover first, but I will be selling them once they've healed. You might have to fight Dawn off though as I know she also said she'd be interested if they split, however that was a few months ago so I'm not sure if she's still interested or not.

Just remembered that Dawn already has one similar to the one of mine that split.

I actually lost this one to a power head last month I do have another one that looks more like Laurie's pinkish one that split.


Here's my newest beauty that followed me home today. It's such a deep dark purple that it almost looks black. I've been wanting this colour variation for quite a long time now......and to think I almost didn't stop at BA's today to check it out
