Wow! I just read through this post again... I can't believe it's been over two years!!!
I did give in and get another nem - a much bigger one. After tons of research and reading about other's experiences, I know now that the LTA was simply too small, and Marlin "loved" it to death. The bigger one I got (a BTA) did great. I had the excitement of seeing it spawn and then split. Both were doing well, but as time went on and the xenia took over, I ended up trading in the rocks to LFSs. Marlin is now anemone free.
I plan to move him from the 10g to the 20g sometime in the near future and buy him a nice big anemone to call home. Right now the 20g is a frag holding tank. I need to get some nice tennis ball sized rocks to mount my frags on and move them to the 90g. Then Marlin can make his big move!![]()
