Yes. Cut them off at the byssal threads. They are hair-like and when you cut make sure the cut is as close to the rock they are attached on as possible and not the other way round. This will minimise cutting of they byssal organ itself. If you don't see the threads, don't try to pull them from the rock unless you know what you are doing.
After removing it, place it at its new location. If it attaches to that location within a few days, the relocation is a success. If it does not, the byssal organ might be hurt and usually this is fatal for the clams.

I decided to add a 6 line wrasse for my 16 plus gallon tank, before getting the fish, i do some research on this fish and realize that some webbie mention the min tank size for them is 10 gallon while some mention 30 gallon, it is a bit confusing, so is my 16 plus gallon cube tank suitable for this fish? Thanks everyone for clearing my doubt.
I have it in my 90 gal and it looks like it has only just about enough space there.

Your tank is way overstocked. Seems like your maroon is hosting in your goniopora ? If it does your gonio is not going to like it and sooner or later it will most probably die. If your anemone is on the move you either move your corals away from it or move your anemone out of the tank. Taking out the anemone requires patience. Putting some strong flow at its base will encourge it to release its foothold however it will probably cause a big sand storm in your tank. Either way you can SLOWLY and GENTLY pull it out until it is completely free.
And yes, adding another maroon is not going to help at all.

Looking at your tank, it looks like you are overstocking it. I do not recommend buying bangaii cardinals from LFS because they are now endangered according to the IUCN 2008 red list and only reefers with the intention of breeding them should do any purchase at all. You also have a couple of spotted cardinals in there. I don't think the cardinals are going to live peacefully together.
From my experience with chromis, they do not surive in shoals well in a smaller tank. They usually end up with the strongest one within a matter of days to weeks.

Can wait or not?
If can, I stay in hougang and can spare some when my monti grows out again. Already traded one big chunk when i accidentally broke my 8 inch monti into two.... Headache...
Sure I can. 2 more months before I can go easy on time.

Thanks for the enthusiasm ! But I think I got to change the collection area to near Hougang....too much work to spend time travelling. When less work sure will get from other places ! But for now, areas near Hougang.

anyone ?

I would like to go into SPS any kind reefers have free montis or hardier SPS frags to give away. Preferably at east.
-
I did, newspaper cannot even go more than 2mm under. Now like lesser water le.

A pair of ocellaris up for adoption. I have no anemone to host them so they host in coral. Sadly, I think my corals don't like so I got to give up my clownfish.
Requirement for new owner : Have experience with marine fish so at least I know they will be in good hands.
Collection in east, near Punggol Park

lighting is ok. It is how you acclimate it.
-
Anyone one know where to get one ? I am interested in 150-F2001 and have no idea where it can be purchased.
-
anyone else ?
-
New owner needs to be able to take good care of the fishes because they have been with me for quite a while and there is some feeling le.

I will be selling my angel and cardinal, take both at $12. The angel likes to nip at clams and rarely at corals. The cardinal does not get along with another cardinal that is why I choose to let them go. Both are good eaters and eat everything including pellets. Once confirmed, collection will be at Hougang Mall area.
-
Acclimation and probably a dying specimen if the others has been well for quite a while.
-
Turnover rate for tank is 10X and using a tunze 6080 (8500lph) for main tank.
I think that is far to low for SPS and lack of Sr could be the cause of tissue recession in SPS.

bump please no people want buy now ?
-
The is the best I can do for the pic. I am letting him go at $12 and I live in the east Punggol Park there. Please be able to take good care of it and do not place him in tank with octo coral or clam.

Split Anemone
in Soft Coral Forum
Posted
Anemones will only split under two conditions, severe stress or extreme good condition. If it splits when you just put it into your tank, it is most likely the former case. Most anemones stay in their tanks without splitting but those that split after sometime in your tank (provided you tank has been stable throughout) will split continously but not at an exaggerating rate depending on your tank conditions. If your anemone does well and split you can sell or give away the daughter anemone. That will be a good thing.
Taking away the daughther anemone instead of the mother one is better because the daughter colonies are those that will usually start moving around the tank in search of new locations.
