Maxi mini anemone

I was told about maxi mini's a week ago and I ended up getting one. Very cool smaller 2-6 inches anemones.

Some info on them

Here's mine

" they are favoured by Sexy Shrimps..." LOL

Shamed that they don't host clowns. My long tentacle anemone is getting huge. I'd like to exchange him for a smaller anemone for them.

Would really like to see colors like those in the pictures (orange, red, purple, yellow) in the LFS.

Not good. Another animal to obsess over. And you can't have just one, either, like Dawn said.

Here's mine. It's blue with a pink mouth and base, has a green skirt and the tips of all the tentacles are pink. It hosts a white porcelain anemone crab. I really do need a couple/few more nicely coloured ones but must wait for now.

Thanks for the link, I picked one up too, couldn't decide with one with the red in it or the green one that sort of looked like a ric, but I went with a red one like yours.

I got a purple with green edge one just a while ago. its really healthy sticky found a good spot. It sure reacts fast when i feed it. Thats cool about the anem crab, i may put one in for it!

I'd also like to get some mini min's but I haven't ever seen them around. Here's a thread I follow on NR that has some jaw dropping gorgeous nems.

Any pics to show off?

Love your Blue one, too, Dawn.
Boy, you girls take awesome pictures!
Maybe we need to have a lesson from you two for one of our up-coming Reefer's Meeting?? Along with Steve's Fragging workshop.

So did you have to purchase your crab along with the anemone, or did your existing crab find it in the tank?
I would love to have one of these and introduce some Sexy Shrimps along with it, but am terrified that one of my resident fishes would think that I am treating them with tasty snacks!

Lol, it'a called an expensive DSLR "point and shoot" that you have no idea how to fully use

I had the nem for quite a while before the crab. I brought the crab home and after acclimation I put it in a small net and I released it where the nem was and it was love at first site, the crab hasn't moved an inch from the nem since

I haven't had the mis-fortune of loosing any fish to it thank goodness but yes they can eat small fish. It's usually the "clumsy, not too bright" fish who end up as food. All my fish seem to know to stay away from it.
