Mad Maroon Clown!

[CarmieJo]

I took these photos tonight after lights out. My maroon is MAD! She keeps flipping around and looks for all the world like she is trying to get comfortable.

is this a new behavior for this clown? i notice this is normal for all my clowns, but i have not kept a maroon before

[CarmieJo]

No she has done it before, I just never had the camera handy and thought it looked pretty funny. :)

[Rob]

lol.. cool.. :)
kinda hard to capture such action in stills, but i know EXACTLY what you are talking a bout.. :)

[CarmieJo]

I think what made this particularly funny was the fact that the BTA was half inflated and looks like a poofy pillow.

[Rob]

yes, its is cool,
infact way back when i had a small digicam and my anemone was MUCH smaller it used to happen all the time, here is one of my favorite pictures (subject not quality.. ;) )

[CarmieJo]

Great picture!

[Rob]

its just awesome to think that i have had that anemone for almost 3 years...
it has went from about 4" to about 10" maybe more... its just huge now when its comes all the way out (which it doesn't do often)

[CarmieJo]

Mine has gotten huge too. Sometimes it seems like he takes up the whole tank.

[Rob]

lol.. i know.. i look at all the space it take sup and think of how valuable real-estate is in a reef tank...lol

how cute! i wanna get an anemone again but just hate it when they move and then get sucked in by the pump

and no more clown... they are vicious, esp to my LPS...lost a torch and plate to a clarkii.. no more =]
