What Do You Think On The Colour Of My New Bubble Tip Anemone?

[Alex Brown]

Ive reserved this nem, hopefully collecting today

I have searched all over Hampshire for my perfect nem. I didnt exactly find "the one" however this was one that really stood out to me. I love the colour, except the brown sack.

I was in the market for a bubble anemone. Please tell me your thoughts! I wanted the brightest most colourfull nem I could find. Post your nem piks!

Alex.

Beautiful!

Very nice, will look even better in your set up, nems and corals always seem to for some reason.

Nice Rose!

Nice one, thanks guys. Im going to go pick it up in the next hour or so. Im thinking of placing it under the toadstool mushroom, it is a legd that sticks far out, with shade at the back between other rocks, and a nice jet of water fanning the whole area on top of the rock. The clownfish have also come to like that side of the tank

You wouldnt have thought I took that on a high end SLR would you! Sorry for the naff photo. Will re-do this afternoon with nem!

Not really gonna matter where you put it, it will move until it finds where it wants to be anyway.

Lovely colour
Yep I agree, it won't matter where you put it, it will keep moving until its happy, I thought mine had found its place, it had been there almost a week, then I got up this morning and he's moved again

Just got it home - it didnt come on a rock, so kind of looks a bit weak right now! I cant wait to put it in.

Dr Evil and Mini me want to get in...

Colour looks more enhanced even in the bag.

Not sure, someone with more experience may clarify, but would think you would be better using airline and drip acclimatizing, for a decent amount of time.

i think your supposed to drip-method everything marine for quite a few hours.

beautiful btw

 

[TigerIssey]

I must admit Lyotim I do. At least an hour and a half, if its sensitive I do it for longer.

I did it over 3 hours with a cupfull going in every half hour or so. Its in there now, and looks great! Was a little bit difficault to get it to release off the bag but it came off smoothly after a couple of minutes. I also observed the nem doing a water change while in the bag. It completely shrivelled up and inflated again. Before I took it out the bag, it had fully bubbled up and looked even more alive than at the store!

Few minutes after going in.
