Exciting news... so as I stated before I have my LR in a tub in the basement and I have been doing regular inspections looking for any unwanted hitch hikers. Well I notice a small quarter sized anemone on one of the rocks and was not sure what species it was, first I thought maybe a majono but then after closer inspection ruled that out... as well this anemone is mobel. I then thought maybe a small BTA and after talking with the guy I bought the LR off of... turns out he had a Rose Bulb Anemone.
For those who are not farmiliar with this anemone it is also known as The Rose Bubble Tip Anemone... a less common form of the Bubble Tip Anemone or BTA for short. This is excitin news as these guys retail for about $80-100, not bad for a hitch hiker
The only bad thing is I do not have my lighting units yet, so I'm going to have to buy a new bulb for my PC 28watt light which is all I can do for now and keep my fingers crossed.

As well the tank ETA is 3-4 week... blaaa a little longer then I was hoping but they have to temper some off the glass pains due to the drilled holes.
