Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I purchased a few new maxi mini carpet anemones over the past two months, so I thought I would show them off. I really like them and I love how they don't roam around and destroy corals and stay pretty small in one spot. Plus their color varieties are so unique and vast, each one if interesting and captivating in it's own way. I plan on adding some anemone shrimp to them some day in the future. My camera is broken so excuse the bad photos. I'll take some more tomorrow when the lights come on. And this guy I got today, but he's hidden up in the rock. Tried to get him with the flash, but the colors are off. Maybe he'll be less bashful tomorrow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Monnat Jr Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Those are cool. What's the scientific name? I'm looking for nice corals/anemones to host ornamental crustaceans, and those look nicer than just another BTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Those are cool. What's the scientific name? I'm looking for nice corals/anemones to host ornamental crustaceans, and those look nicer than just another BTA. I'm pretty sure the scientific name is Stichodactlya tapetum. I've come to the conclusion that they are better than BTA's since they don't get huge, don't wonder around, and therefore don't get sucked up into powerheads. Plus their prices are very competitive compared to that of BTAs. More colors morphs for cheaper and they don't kill corals/kill themselves? YES PLEASE The one downside is they only host anemone crabs and shrimp, so don't expect your clowns to take to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nwehrman Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Beautiful... Agreed! And again where did you get them? Nicole Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 haha no problem, I grew up in Austin and my girlfriend goes to UT, I just chose A&M because it offered aquaculture while UT didn't. I only saw em off on game day, which will no longer happen Anyway, I got the blue one from AquaSD, and their service and quality was fantastic, I'm glad they are a sponsor! The other two I got on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sorry for the repost, but I wanted to touch up the photo quality of some of my pictures to better portray their true colors. There, that's better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I grew up in pflug. What middle/high did you go to? Well I grew up going to Westwood, so we played P-ville in football, but I never went there. I will be moving back to Pflugerville over by Dell when I graduate next month assuming I can find a job in Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Aye. What industry are you looking into? Did you end up with a degree in aquaculture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well I did aquaculture for a while until I realized the industry isn't as exciting and fulfilling as I imagined it, so now I'm a bioenvironmental scientist. I'm trying to get a job with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in Austin or at a consulting company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm an environmental consultant we don't have any positions open, but I can occasionally work in some labor if you want to try to get experience. Send me your resume and we can chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 That would be Awesome! Any kind of experience would be helpful at this point since my experience in a Microbiology lab doesn't go far in the consulting field... PM me your email address and I'll send you my resume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well I did aquaculture for a while until I realized the industry isn't as exciting and fulfilling as I imagined it, so now I'm a bioenvironmental scientist. I'm trying to get a job with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in Austin or at a consulting company. Awesome, I majored in BESC at TAMU too! Definitely try to go with a consulting company. TCEQ doesn't pay squat compared to a private company and the work isn't as fun! Good luck!

victoly Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 There are pros and cons to government work. The govt work is much more monotonous but alot less of a grind (business development, finance, etc). As a trade, the pay is probably 60% of what you make in consulting. Where do you work Kim ?

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Got any good leads on where to apply Kim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Is anyone going to the TCEQ trade Conference next month? I plan on going and doing a little networking there, hopefully find someone looking for an entry level consultant or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
