Default My nemonie

Hi There,
Can some one give me a definitive clasification for my Nem?
He is about 12" in diameter and the clown wont leave his sight.

Thanks Mate, It looks quite different from other pics I have seen of that type. It is about 12" in diameter and I have had it like this for about 3 years. Seems VERY healthy. Ya think it will get much bigger? It really dominates the 75 gal. Tank

Maybe I shouldnt say Crispa for sure. I guess it depends where it came from.

I am pumping in 400 watts of compact flourecent light. Mixed actinic, daylight for 12 hour per day. I have another condi in the tank but he is nothing compared to that monster.

Oh I do Jim, Shrimp, scallops, and tghe clown is always bringing in "presents". Why did the response on the lighting flag your suggestion? I thought 400 watt on a 75 gallon tank was pretty darn good.
