WELL FINALLY!!!!! I have been looking and waiting Very patiently for months now for Nice Anemone (Bubble tip or Long tenacle) for my Clown! I guess since its winter they are out of season, b/c its been very hard to find anything decent size for the past couple months... The last LTA that I had was slightly bleached when I got him (not too bad)

, but unfortantely was severely stressed out and eventually died to a freak gelatin (Jell-o) accident where I made over 1200 Jello shots in my apartment and the airborne gelatin congealed all my tanks, and stressed everything out... Anyways, five months later, I finally get my new one, and it is a BEAUTY! Green and Orange LTA, at the LFS it was expanded out and much bigger than a softball! I needed a good sized one b/c my misbarred allardi is quite large....
I had to do some rearranging to get this guy to fit nicely,
Here is the tank prior to the new NEM:

And this guy isn't even fully expanded, in the store, he was MUCH BIGGER! This pic was taken only after an hour or so in the new tank, so it was still getting situated! Infact it found a nice anchor in a loop/hole in the LR that he as already attached down into! My clown, LOVES IT, and is rubbin all in it within 15 minutes of Introduction! I even fed some krill, and he brought it down to feed then Nem! So Cool!
