Anemones Taking Over

[joeoliver]

Is there anything that eats these anemones? They're taking over. I started with one. Glad I'll be able to share some of these nexus burst anemones with our SCR family.

Gives you a reason to start up a Nem only tank

This is the nem tank. I won a nexus burst anemone at the OC Coral Show (from Coral State Of Mind) and set up a 20 gallon for it. Now there's more!

Fry one up. Might be better than fish.

or sushi nem? might feel a sting though.

They look like they are splitting when they are rather small. Is your alkalinity stable?

There is nothing that will eat them that will also fit in a 20g tank.

They are pretty easy to remove though. Just pull the rock out, turn the nem upsidedown so it is hanging by gravity and run an ice cube on it's foot. They come off pretty quickly. I have done it a few hundred times.

my alk is steady at 9dkh and I'm new to anemones, but i do believe they're splitting too often. however they all look fine and continue to get bigger.

I was able to easily pull 3 off the rocks. anyone looking for one? maybe we can figure out a trade?

My Colorado & Chicago don’t split that often - I wish I have your problem!
