This blog is dedicated to all the female reefers of the world. We all know that reefing is a male dominated hobby...but ladies...there are a lot of us out there too! Here's a fun place for us to gather and talk about the hobby we hold near and dear to our hearts. Of course...the guys are welcome to join in on the discussion too! Check in often as I will regularly be featuring my coral, fish, and lots of great information.

mini carpet anemones

I know a lot of people are interested in mini carpet anemones. They are gorgeous, for sure. I just want to put a warning out there for anyone with or planning to get one or two or more. They are aggressive!

I was feeding my tank (10g) as usual and my poor clownfish decided to try and steal food from the mini nem. Well...that did not go well for the clownfish. He got stuck in the mini anemone. In case you are not aware..they are very sticky! If something gets caught in it...it will most likely not get out. My little clown was able to wiggle free...but the damage was too severe and he ended up dying the next day. So...if you love your fish, keep this in mind. Make sure to feed your mini nem last. Fill up the fish bellies first and then feed the nems!

    Sorry about Marley! I lost a Yasha Goby, a bunch of shrimp and coral to this record summer, so I know how that is. Fortunately my clowns made it through. Did he have a mate?
