Default Black Ice Snowflakes hosting!

Picked up a pair of baby blackice snowflakes on Saturday and was wondering when they would start hosting the nems. I got home from work to find one of them missing. I searched high and low for it and was starting to get worried as the pair was always staying together since day 1. I then saw the missing clown swim towards the other and wondered where it was hiding. I was watching it for a bit and found out that it was hiding inside the largest rbta and was completely hidden in its tentacles. I took some blurry pics from my phone and hopefully the other snowflake will learn from the first and follow it into the rbta or host one of the others.




So, as I was typing this I noticed that the 2nd snowflake followed the first into the rbta, now they are both swimming inside of it, its insanely cute since they are only about an inch long. They are definitely competing against my pair of mandarins as my favorites in the tank.

Hmm, now it seems as though they are fighting for control over the anemone, nipping at each other. Hopefully one will come out on top without hurting the other.

That looks like a long tentacles anemone? I did not know the bubble tip could have no bubble tips

A lot of bubble tips stop bubbling after being in an aquarium for awhile, no one really knows why

Yup, very strange, that once only bubbles up a bit once and a while and only for a short time.
