• Transplanting an anemone

  • Christopher4125

The guts of quadricolors (bubble tip anemone) reproduce. A question arose - how to transplant them from their native rock? Please share your experience.

Disturb the one that needs to be transplanted. Head towards it. Place removable stones nearby. It will start to crawl. Then you can move it. You can also sell it to me or we can swap.

Good job! A sensible piece of advice, but for your own benefit. Off-topic, do you want to put an anemone in a two-month-old aquarium? Isn't that risky? Max has already put one in his. I'm hesitant to plant an euphyllia; they say not before four months.

Off-topic Max, I've already put the second one in the 7-month-old aquarium... The result is the same. The bubble is the most resilient species. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Offtopic my clowns didn't settle in the tank, if Vadim has it in a month, I'll take the euphyllia (there will be three in the aquarium, maybe a little more), if they don't settle - I'll put a bubble in four, although for my ocellaris according to the table, a carpet is needed on the bottom of the tank.

An anemone came to me along with the stones, on the first day of the launch, white and alive until now, though it's almost green now.

And this is pleasing...

I feed her live neocaridinas and squid almost daily; I wonder how long it takes for her to grow?

Did you buy it at the ray? It turned green - under the actinics or..? What light? How much time has passed? Did it hide in the rocks?

Danielle8118

I didn't buy her, she stuck to my first MSJ.K. (live stones) (Ray later showed a bunch of small ones), she was white and pale, hiding from the light all the time. In the very bottom photo, she is sitting on the bottom right (oh my God, this was my aquarium, what a fright): I feed her daily, she has started to turn gray, now she's turning green, in short, she has become more visible... but still doesn't come out into the bright light.

I have one just like yours that has been living for more than 4 months and is not growing. However, for the last 3 months, I have been forcing it to feed on light.

Did you climb into the rocks? Well, it fits you well. You can feed it and watch it. When I try to blow mine out, it "goes into the mountains." It sits in the cave, on the supporting lower stone. A bunch of sand rises when I blow it out. And when it's from above, that's great - it will grow and be like in the palm of your hand.

Aha.

and my Buchenwald sturdy guy, right now, really loves the trumpet fish (the umbrellas open up fine, it's just morning for them): location of the actinia: this is what the aquarium looks like now:

I realized that flat stones on shallow sand across the entire area are wrong. Dead zones. Measures need to be taken before it's too late. Some circulation should at least penetrate under these stones, otherwise over time there will be nitrite, hydrogen sulfide, and then it won't be long before sensitive species die off...

Craig7302

There, at the bottom, the foundation stones are lying, and on them are all the others. Besides, I directed the flow along the back wall; ideally, it should blow away all the junk... however, ahead is the move to a new stand, so unfortunately, everything will have to be rearranged.

Crystal4879

When you are relaying, please set up a backdrop so that the support stones do not take up much space and there is some gap between them and the load-bearing ones. As for the current behind, it will be of little use if there is a solid monolith ridge that is also covered with sand. Where it touches the sandy bottom, it is preferable not to sprinkle at all, or just a little...
