Re: anemone id

Every anemone has stinging nematocyst.Condys,Bubble tips,carpets,They all have them.If you want to see,touch any anemone you want with a cut on your hand.
Sounds like that LFS is full of crap to me.

Re: anemone id

Anemones can and will kill fish, and from your description of the clown's behavior, it is possible that's what happened.

If your friend bought an anemone to host his clown, he should have researched, certain anemones are not compatible at all with certain clowns, and certain anemones do better with certain clowns. In the end, there's no guarantee that the clown will favor an anemone in the first place, a lot of them just ignore them.

Besides the ones that Yote mentioned, tube anemones come to mind as another type of anemone that doesn't need strong light.

Re: anemone id
