Introducing a COLORFUL New Bubble Tip Anemone to My Nano Clownfish Aquarium

Adding a new bubble tip anemone to a nano aquarium is always fun...but adding a Chicago Sunburst Anemone is EVEN BETTER!
Huge thanks to Tyler (‪@inland_reef‬) for utilizing the Reefer's Code to let Uno, Dos and myself enjoy this amazing bubble tip anemone! Their little nano tank is coming along nicely!

Just some info, the clowns don't actually build up an immunity to the stings. What they do is start to cover themselves in the mucus the anemone makes, once they get enough coverage the anemone starts seeing the clowns as just another tentacle so they don't trigger a sting (this mucus is also the reason the anemone does not sting itself). The funny dance the clown fish does is to ensure they keep themselves completely covered in the anemones mucus all the time. Remember this when handling the clowns with an anemone they are already hosting in, don't use a net to catch them if you are moving them with the host as this can lead to them getting caught by their host due to removing some of their protection with the net....

[@inland_reef]

Great info! I knew they built up some sort of something to allow them to stay in there. Had some brain farts when the camera was pointed at me 🤣 Appreciate the insight.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Great info! Thank you!

[@wallydraigle5382]

So in other words they build up an immunity. Got it.

Tyler’s sweater made the video. The nem is amazing… but sweater is too good to be true

Sweater - 10/10

That's one beautiful nem! Congrats!

[@TuanTran-ur8nj]

Congrats on 20K. Another awesome video

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Thank you!!

[@BryznsReef]

Awesome how fast they got used to it! Reefers code first time hearing about this but def something that makes the hobby special 🤩

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Reefers Code is how this hobby survived back in the day. It's become a lot more commercialized these days, which is fine, but it's always good to continue some of the traditions. It just makes sense.

[@JB-zs4pv]

Nice timing! Just caught up on all your videos literally minutes ago! Loving the updates for Uno and Dos.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Glad you like them! Thank you for coming along on the journey! I try to to improve as much as I can each time!

[@bahamareefer]

Looking forward to your talk in Indianapolis next month! Stoked to see you live & in person!

[@taylor4tails]

You could try some Mollies to start with and help with algae cleanup. in a mall tank like that it might help

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

It's calming down now. I keep removing when I do a water change.

[@Lutharthegreat]

Those nems have come down a bunch in price from the first time I seen them. Your babies are getting so big and their own nem from Tyler is wicked awesome! Congrats on 20K and hope to catch you around one of these days at the LFS or a frag swap near us!

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Thank you! 20k has been a long road. Cheers to 20 more!

[@g-reef]

Can’t wait to get some coral from Remy ❤

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

MANIFEST!

[@Jacobson02]

Always interesting to see the different strains you have in the states. Chicago sunbursts I haven't seen but here in Australia this 'forest fire nem' is incredibly popular (and for good reason). Love the reefers code, gifting coral and seeing it thrive is great fun, and they get the pleasure of those specimens too :D

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

All of that! I gotta check out the forest fire nem!

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

I’m also in Australia. This video was right up my alley because I also have a 10 gallon AIO dedicated to BTAs (and a single clownfish). It is really odd we don’t get more variety of BT anemones here - surely more colour varieties than the standard forest fire, green and green with orange tips are being collected. I guess they’re all exported.

[@JCTReefer]

Thumbs up simply because you pronounced Anemone correctly😂. I swear 9 times out of 10, people say ANENOME.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Practiced in the mirror for a couple days straight...lol. I get annoyed too. Not as much as when people spell "lose" as "loose" though. 😂

[@JCTReefer]

@@BahamaLlamaCoral You crack me up man 🤣 All jokes aside, glad you’re back to making videos after that long break. Not that this is the first since that “long break”😝

[@inland_reef]

Remy, congrats on 20k! I remember when you were talking about making a KZbin channel. Its awesome to see how much your channel has grown and evolved over the years. Hope uno and dos are loving their new home! To many more adventures 🍻

[@kingtidecorals]

Also.. PREACH THE CODE! The reefers code is a real and genuine thing. If anything were to happen to the willow you have a bank with me my friend!

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

YES! I might do a whole video on it at some point. It's a lost art for sure. Thanks for watching B!

[@CopperCanyonTerrapins]

@@BahamaLlamaCoral I recently was the benefactor of the reefers code, BIG TIME! A local reefer was getting out of the hobby. He initially tried to sell his equipment, but after about 90 days of no real interest, he put it in his driveway with a FREE sign on it and posted it in our local club forum. I was lucky enough to snag the 60 Gal complete cube set up with a lot of high end equipment for free! Took my reef keeping to a whole new level...kessil lighting, Octo Regal skimmer, Maxspect gyre, the list goes on and on...thousands of dollars worth of equipment. His only request, that I pay if forward to someone else in the hobby in the future! I am a firm believer in the reefer code and will live by it!!!

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Yeah...the powerhead makes me a bit nervous. It has the "nem guard" on it but I don't trust that.

[@queencityreefs]

@Bahama Llama Coral I wouldn't either. Good luck though. I'm sure it will be ok.

[@CopperCanyonTerrapins]

Any updates on the clownfish breeding project? Any success having more than one fry survive? Would love to see an update! My favorite nem is the CSB, Rainbow, or Black Widow BTA for sure!

[@ReefRondo]

Excellent video as always Remdog! Anemones do the hosting though...My OCD is off the chart! 🤣

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Yes....yes.....I know. As I was editing I had that same thought. Everyone always says the clown hosts the nem but its the opposite. I feel like one of those adults that stands at a public aquarium and shouts LOOK ITS NEMO! smh. I'll do better. 😆

Hi, new subscriber. I'm local to St. Louis also. Im getting back into hobby and starting my 1st frag tank. I was wondering if I could get some frags from you

[@briansbrain3127]

Awesome! Mine has never split once! It’s about the size of a basketball now when extended, and my clowns want nothing to do with it haha

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

A BASKETBALL!!?! That's insane!

[@legendabsolute]

TURBO SNAILS! Absolute bulldozer and will move anything and everything not glued down - I actually lost my beautiful grape monti due to the bulldozer knocking a purple stylo frag onto it - but trust me when I say that 1 single Mexican turbo snail cleaned up my 15 gallon ugly stage in a matter of days, even the egg crate that I had in there. I was actually amazed

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

I've got a couple in there but the GHA just grew a bit too quick for them. I need to add a couple more for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@BackWoodsReefer]

How long has your clown tank been running since you added the Chicago nem? I have a new 20-gallon tank that I want to add a nem to as well.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

The tank is young which isn't normally recommended for nems. I'm right on the cusp of 5 months so I'm not too far off. I'd definitely add some fish before adding the nem so you get some nutrients into the tank. Do some quick research, I am by no means a nem expert so look around.

[@BackWoodsReefer]

@@BahamaLlamaCoral I've got a couple of fish in the tank. I seeded it with live rock from my main display tank. Not in a rush at all. I was just wondering about the timeline on Your tank. Love the videos!
