The links say access denied is it a clear anemone or does it have a color like red and kinda resemble a bubble tip anemone

try the links now,, i had the pics set to members only, i tried to upload them here but it wouldnt let me, so i put them on my social network/dating site

[Tommy Gether]

it has like 25 very long pink fingers all moving and junk, and yes very small bubbles on the end of them

That's an aptasia anemone there kinda a pest and will multiply but you can get fish that will eat them or shrimp or use aptasia x.
I ended up with mejano anemones somehow and there a pain in the arse to get rid of them

[Tommy Gether]

well it looks pretty and i was hoping the clown would host it or something,, so you are saying i should take it out?

[johnnymisty]

They can multiply pretty quick and take over but if your not doing a reef its really up to you they'll sting corals and they won't get big enough for a clown to host there are better suited anemones for that I had my tomatoe clown host an anthelia colony I had

[Tommy Gether]

well i went to rip him out of the tank, and the little ******* sucked himself into a hole in the rock, any ideas how to get him out? would holding the rock under running hot water kill him?

[johnnymisty]

you can get fish that will eat them or shrimp or use aptasia x if you pull the rock out and hit it with a toothbrush and prolly scrape it off

[Tommy Gether]

well i was holding off on adding more fish due to this whole funny numbers thing im having, but i guess ill run down tommarrow and buy one or s shrimp or something, cause there is no way i can get in that little hole he is in with a toothbrush.. kinda sad now, i was hoping my "live rock" was finally ALIVE!

[johnnymisty]

Adding fish can throw your tank into a cycle just Ho slow

You can use lime juice put it into a syringe and stab the nem with it and start squeezing the juice in.

Ok so time to update, so far total fish count in the 2 week old tank is 4 and like 5 hermits,, we have a niger trigger, a common clown, a beautiful lion, and damsel.. there was 5 fish but the lion decided to eat the green chromis. only death that has occurred in the tank to date other then being ate, is today I lost a hermit. I had no history of these hermits they came with the live rock I bought, the guy said "most of them there comes from Galveston" so who knows, I chalked it up to old age.

Now far as the aiptasia I wanted to buy a copperband to deal with it, but I decided there wasnt enough to keep the fish fed and im still unsure weather this tank with go through any drastic changes beings it is so new.. i thought for a full 10 seconds about putting lime juice on it with a syringe.. before I just said to heck with this and pulled the rock out and held it under hot tap water for a couple of minutes till it was steaming.. that was 3 days ago and no signs of return.

now for the good new,, I FINALLY GOT A NITRATE READING!.. as of yesterday it was showing a 5.. as of today I pulled the bio balls out, I figured 2 weeks was not long enough for them to be established in the first place and if I was gonna remove them now was the time to do so. I think im just gonna keep an eye on the readings,, nitrite and ammonia are both still at zero and I think ill do a 5 gallon change on tuesday unless the nitrates crawl much higher by tomorrow.
