  1. Anemone spawning event, and Salinity Salt & Equipment update

    Earlier today, I noticed all the anemones looked strange, somewhat supersized. This one is my oldest anemone, purchased back in 2003. See how the tentacles look more like candle flames? That's not what I normally see, so I knew something was up.
