It seems I have an anemone that just keeps reproducing,:yay: maybe I feed it too much. I don't know, but it started with one and now I have hundreds.
I also have these macros. They don't produce quite as much, but I still have many. They seem to grow in clusters. They are small and round.(like bubbles) I have many green and a few red. They are quite beautiful.

Anyway, I decided to thin them out. I have searched to find ideas on pricing, but it seems that no one sells them. ( I can't imagine why)I guess that means they are kind of rare.

I do remember seeing an anemone in a fish store once. It was similar to these. I think they called them appy's or something like that.

Anyway, since I have so many, I thought I would do $5 per anemone or cluster of macros.

Those are aiptasia anemones. They are not good FWIW. The other is bubble algae. It can be pretty bad as well.

Aww! Thanks for being so polite about it! :D

I know. They are both worthless.

Was thinking my first reply would be "is this a joke". So I could answer "yes".

Sorry, I am a little corny! :)

And this is what happens when you put off getting rid of things, you know you should get rid of.

Hi Amy,
What you have is bubble algae (valonia) and aiptasia, both nuisance reef inhabitants. People remove them and kill them from their systems. You should do the same. The Aiptasia are the worst threat to you other livestock. There are commercial preparations for Aiptasia, as well as some natural predators for aiptasia and valonia that can help as well. Definitely not something there is a market for.

Well, I was gonna scroll down and put this guy.....:lol2:.....at the very bottom of my post.

I guess I should have. :doh: Just thought I would lighten the place up a little!

FWIW, i thought it was funny.

Read through the Articles/"answers to questions" about Apatasia. Few tanks have not experienced these pests but you appear to have a pretty serious outbreak.

I loved it! Best thing I heard all day. Truly LOL:lol2:

LOL:lol2:

:lol2::lol2:LOL:lol2:

LOL you got me.

Cool! I was beginning to get bummed out about my joke gone bad!

Now I can say, "That was fun". :thumbs:

I knew as soon as you said the anemone had turned into hundreds that it was a joke. I enjoyed it!

Sorry. Didn't get it at first. I see it now. That is the hard part about an internet website. You can't tell the intention of someone or their experience level. There is/was someone on ebay actually selling asterinas, believe it or not.

yeah that was pretty funny i thought it was a joke too

:d

I'll pay you to take mine :)

Does this mean they are not for sale? lol

HA! I was getting excited since you live near me, then I saw the pictures and was like, huh? Seriously? Lol :D I had a small handful, then got two peppermint shrimp and they ate them all up!

Amy, I love you!

Julie

Had to let Julie see this, seems she was aware you were doing this.lol.
I on the other hand was hoping for a thread about your minis.:sad:
So your tank will now take 4 months instead of 3.:D

Asterinas :eek:! I'll have to get some of them! :lol2:

I've seen them selling bristleworms(not a pest) but everyone has 'em. Can't see a need to buy them!

I knew if I was going to get away with this as a joke, I had to do it while I was still fairly new to the site! :D

:yes:can you spell FACETIOUS:doh:
I thought it was very cleaver and enjoyed every word

Does this mean they are not for sale? lol

You can come get as many as you want. FREE!

Cool you live so close. Most peeps are in Atlanta. I will have some real things for sale. Stay tuned!

Amy, I love you!

Yea, I called Julie earlier. Wasn't sure if this would be taken well or make people mad. Called for an opinion before posting!

4 months? These people can't wait that long to see our build! :eek: And little LC is gonna outgrow the 20g! :D

Ok, your build......but I am working on the stand.....:yes:

As Dave said I didnt want to insult you. You never know what someone else dosent know! We are all learning just different levels. I was thinking did I see this right. I even called John :lol2:

Thanks! You made it more fun! You were very nice! Almost made me feel bad to tell you it was a joke!

I'll take 4 anemones. Will my clowns host them?

My clowns don't, but it's hard to say. Some Clowns will host frogspawn, mushrooms, or just a corener of the tank. I've seen Clowns that host overflow tubes! :lol2:
