The long tentacles anemones are very attractive to see and very friendly in the aquarium.

They are very attractive; but wandering is an issue. I had this wandering issue. After several weeks of wandering, I came up with a plan...and it worked! I took a 2 inch piece of PVC and cut it (3 1/2 inches long). I placed it in the aquarium laying down and gently created current with my hand to back the anemone foot into the pipe. I waited an hour and the anemone planted his foot into the pipe. After several hours I tunneled a hole in the substrate down to the glass. I stood the pipe up and planted it in the hole. I then built the substrate around the PVC so it is not visible. It has been a few weeks. The anemone is now eating, fully open and best of all planted!

Are there blue puffball mushrooms? Because I found one.

I had the soft heads of mine eaten by an emerald crab. Any chance it's still alive and may grow back? Any way to deter the crab from eating it again?

Slipper coral is cute. Even though it' coral it's a good pet.

I have a toadstool and sometimes the appendages recede. Is this indicative of anything wrong?

What is stated in the above description may have been true years back, but not the case today. I would say these corals should only be attempted by experienced reefers, not beginners. Furthermore, there are more and more reports that indicate these corals do much better under low to moderate lighting and metal halide is definitely NOT recommended.
I would have to say that given the poor survival rates of today, it would be much better if people stopped buying them and leave them in the wild, where they belong. Hopefully someday the problem will be solved and the aquarium trade can again enjoy keeping these magnificent corals with relative ease...

"You have the wrong scientific name for this coral. It should be acropora cervicornis."

Editor note: Thank you! We have changed the picture to the correct species.

I have2 Devils Finger Leather Corals, they are attached to 1 Live Rock. They have both grown substantially in the last Year. I leave plenty of room next to them. They are easy and are good looking. I had them in the back of the tank, but recently moved them to the center of the tank. They are still doing very well. I have read that they only grow three inches, but mine are at least 5 inches. They are a good Coral to have.
