Hi everyone. I just got a couple of rock nems and would like to see what you all have. They are awesome looking nems. I got a red/green one for $30! And a pinkish one guy at my LFS gave me for free cuz it was ugly lol. Here's pics of them

Lets see all yours!

Good morning. No don't have one, but doesn't mean I ain't thinking about them. So will be very curious how you make out with yours'. But really surprised no one is chiming in? They come in an incredible array of colors, and think they'd look great in a tank. So please keep posting how you're doing. Oh, and welcome to TRT!

P.S.
Love your signature! Amen!
Thanks for the reply! I have 3 rock nems now and they are doing great. My newest one I just got yesterday. I'll post a picture of it later today when I get home. Nice thing about them is they are very easy to keep and don't move around. They pretty much stayed where I put them. The colors on some I've seen amaze me. Can't wait to fill my 10gal up with them. lol

This is my Uncle's 125 Gallon Aquarium that I maintain (And have completely restored- it started with aphasia and a clownfish).

Beautiful rock flower Anenome on the right side under the Candy Cane





Edit:
It was not originally placed there, obviously. I placed it on a vertical piece of rock, but apparently that was too much light (Twin Hydra 52s) and it moved there. Its been happy for the last few weeks, and eats mysis

Cool nem, I'm trying to feed mine mysis too. One eats it really well other two don't seem interested in it. My cleaner shrimp really goes for it lol. I have nassarius snail I think that came in some caulerpa and it found a chunk and started munching away on it. Hermits will eat it too.
And a pinkish one guy at my LFS gave me for free cuz it was ugly lol.
I just flushed one down the toilet because it was ugly and taking up some good real estate in my tank lol.

Yay lets brag about killing animals!

Seriously though..... Cmon don't kill critters just because "that take up space"
Not cool....

You could have just as easily returned it or given it to another reefer.
I will post mine this week if I get it this week. My LFS has some nice looking rock nems and I might snag the white one.
Too bad you couldn't have given it to someone. Since you live in Fla you could have taken it back the the ocean where they came from and released it lol

Killing things just because you don't want them anymore is awful...

I have a red and a green. I'll try to get pics later. The red on lives on the backside of a rock though, not sure how a pic will turn out... That's a brilliantly colored one your Uncle has, Harry!
holy macro... did know we had PETA advocates here lol

Not that I care/should justify my actions BUT it was given to me for free in bad shape and stung my corals trying to find a good spot and when it did, it was at the base of a coral. It was a pita so i offered it to LFS and they didn't even want it. It was small and ugly too. So out the door it went.

But next time you guys can send me some $$ and ill ship it to you ;]

I think the waves would have just pushed back on shore but I guess that would have be the more "moral" way to get rid of it. Next time....
Actually you don't want to release anything from your tank back into the ocean. You could be introducing parasites or pathogens along with a species that may not be native to that area. Next time if you can't find an LFS check local reef clubs - I'm sure there'd be someone that would rather take any animal you don't want rather than see it flushed. Or as you said, someone on here would probably take something for the cost of shipping. :)

Sorry to be so down on you Andy, but the great thing about TRT are the passion people have for the animals and hobby. Anything not in the best interest of the animal is bound to bring a "grrr" from the other members.

And now for a pic. Sorry, mine is crappy, both because of my sad phone and the fact mine have chosen some pretty random spots to hang out which don't really offer good angles. I'm not going to bother posting the pic of the red one as it was just a peek of the tentacles. :p

I will have to purchase a rock anemone soon. I love the look of the red ones.
Few weeks ago I told my LFS about VIPReef.com. They got in touch with them and ordered some rock flowere anemones. I was there today and they said they were getting 100 rock nems in this Wednesday!! Oh boy, cant wait to see all of them. There goes my bank account lol.
Update on 30gal

Here's updated pic of my 30gal. Will be filling it up today and getting it running.
Put in sand other day.
