Gig 'em -- thanks for looking

Gary -- thanks a lot. The new 20K bulbs are really making its color pop. Need to get a new picture of my green Haddoni -- it is settled in nicely now -- have had it for 2 months now, so I think this one is a keeper.

Cool, I would have thought the clown/anemone match would have been opposite of what it is though.

It is true that pink skunks are naturally hosted by LTAs, but a Haddoni isn't a natural host for Ocellaris. (( the other two carpets, gigantea and mertensii are ))

In my 75 I have a pair of Clarkiis in their natural host -- Haddoni,

Manage to get a couple of my green Haddoni, the color is more green in real life, but this is pretty close.

LOL LOL Thanks. I really want to get another one, and slowly getting rid of some stuff in my 29 for it. Can always put it in my 75 when it gets too big.

And I managed to get my blue one back into its original spot -- I don't think it liked it when I upgraded my lights, but is happy again.

That's crazy how it went in the sand like that. I wonder what he was doing in there

I have seen them do it when I bother them too much while doing a water change, so I am guessing something irritated it -- what I am not sure. When I got home from one the other day it was like that. Took me a while to figure out what was missing in the tank. ;)

No, it was at least half of its current size when I got it. It wasn't expensive, since it was a gift. ;) But, the person who got it for me paid $300 for it.

This is what it looked like when I first put it in my tank. (( this picture it was in my 75, 4 feet long, so it gives you an idea of its size ))

Why thank you. And you have seen it in person. :) Still wish I could have brought back your red one to health.

How is your tank(s) doing?

All your clowns look so happy in their pretty homes! I now know why my clowns turn up their noses up at my frogspawn and hairy mushroom offerings. Nothing can compare to those :)

Thanks Featherdusters. And I really need to get a picture of the pink skunks laying down in the Haddoni, they will actually lay on their sides, like they are taking a nap on the couch. :)

Thanks Todd, things are okay here. Still in the building stages of the big tank. I hope to be cycled by the end of the summer. We shall see.....

Good deal Kathy, and if you need any help with that, just let me know, would be glad to help.
