Hey there everyone, I took over a 15-20 gallon tall tank when I moved to Florida. Since I came here I have given away 3 leathers to transform this tank into a zoanthid and ricordea tank. I have added one yellow fiji leather, two ricordea and some zoas.

All these zoas I have recieved in the past week. It was a quick but easy decision to turn this tank into a zoa/ric tank.

so without further ado here is my tank.

and probably my favorite one, even though its only one polyp is this red tipped green one, I only paid 5 bucks for this one WHICH IS A STEAL!

LOL you had me going there for a second. Tulip anemones don't really hurt anything IME, but if you want to kill it off any method that eliminates Aiptasia will work.

I use Joe's Juice when I need to, and an insulin needle. But more often I just use a fingernail to peel the foot up and then give them away to club members that like how they look. I've got a friend that was actually selling them on Ebay for a while- too funny!!! I guess some people like them for refugiums as another bio friendly way to eat up excess nutrients in the water. Go figure!

hey pat!

Nice looking tank! I've been off the board for a while, but glad to see you're back into the aquariums. It looks like I've finally stopped moving/switching jobs, so it's about time for me to set the 150g up again. Just got the 55g set back up.

haha no pics to give. We moved into a new house a few months ago and the heat turned on for the first time while we were gone a few weeks ago.... well it turned on, but never turned off... the thermostat had been wired wrong. When we got back the tank temp was 96 degrees. We managed to save two percs, a pajama cardinal and a yellow watchman, all inverts died. So it's basically just a pile of rocks right now :)

So grow those polyps out nice so I can steal some in a few months lol!
