Kay so bought this from Seth and I was amazed!! I though it was little over a foot but no this thing is pushing almost three feet across!!!! Today it was the biggest it's been so far and was happy only thing I changed was I added another clown pair because I'm waiting for them to be picked up and didn't want them cramped in my ac70 on the side of the tank any longer an the added flow was making the nem move. So I leave from practice an it looked like this. Last pic is from before practice tool it at 3:20.
****ed nem :/

Of the 5 nems in my tank...probably 3 of them will deflate like that on any given day. Some more often than others, but it always happens at the same time, just as the whites shut off. I haven't seen any signs of them being stressed (no bleaching/moving)...the largest nem tends to deflate the most frequently, and has been in the tank for a few months now.
They all get fed regularly since the flow in my tank tends to push food into them, and my clowns like to drag food over to them as well. I think it depends on how much food/light they get; when I ran my lights lower they didn't deflate as often, but started moving towards the light, looked less colorful, and stayed open all day. I'm guessing they were trying to get as much light as possible, because once Kris brought over the PAR meter and I increased the lighting (and upgraded to a radion pro just prior), they started to color up nicely...and deflate daily at the end of the photoperiod.
