Updating Alan on his possible anemone

[EmilyB]

I'm not sure what the joke is about, but the anemone is no longer available.

Ummm, no joke intended and certainly no offense either. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I was referring to Tony's statement:

If you do get an anemone, do it because you love anemones and want to care for one, and if you have the clownfish/anemone relationship happening in your tank, then treat that as a happy bonus.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Because I have to admit that the emphasis for me is reversed here. I want the "happy bonus" and would be glad if I came to truly appreciate anemones as a result.

That's all - sorry if I came across wrong, probably my fault. It was the late chat that had me a little woozy.
:D

Alan, no big deal. Somewhere along the line I was under the impression you wanted an anemone and were looking for one. It started to sound like I was trying to convince you to take it, and you sounded not very anxious to have it. ;)

Which is fine. I only wanted a good home for it, and it looks like here is the best place. In fact, I am going to try a pair of domino damsels for something different. :D

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.
