Day in and day out, I watch the anemones open up wide and close down into a ball that resembles rolled up socks. They seem to be happy, and the clownfish swim through all of them, except for the new Sebae anemone. That particular anemone has been crawling around looking for a nice sunny spot, but wasn't successful. The bubble tip anemones dominate the rockwork and shade it far too much.

I watched it closely to see how things were going to develop, but finally decided the best choice was to remove it from the Anemone Cube and put it in the 400g where it can get some space and light. I broke my rule about no anemones in the 400g, but I had to do something for it.

With the flow off, you can see most of them in this shot.

Here's one all twisted up. It's strange that the anemone seems completely fine with it.

Here's the Ribbon Gorgonian I got last month. The polyps are showing most of the time.

    Thanks! I'd really prefer to see the beautiful bubbles they seem to start out with.

    Well I can't confirm this but I am convinced that the bubbles have to do with food. It may be coincidence but I am doubtful, whenever I feed large chunks, krill, squid, silversides, they always seem to bubble up after. So I don't know if this is a digestion thing or what. What I have concluded is that they stretch out in order to be able to catch more food, just my thoughts no science or even an experiment to test this just what I notice in my nem tank aka the "Rose Garden." On another note they always seem to bubble up and split after they have eaten well too, so lots of choices here. But if I blog that tank after this remodel i'll go over all of that as well.
