Re: anemone id

I have seen damselfish go host in them before but if u decide to get one get the yellowtail damselfish becuase it is the least aggresive and stays pretty small.

Re: anemone id

just called the pet store we went to this weekend and it is a Condy, now, is it possible that this anemone killed his clownfish? it was fine and then all of a sudden it was flying across the tank and acting crazy, then laying on the bottom of the tank on the sand, and would repeat this process until it was finally stuck to the filter intake.

Re: anemone id

well, they said it would be fine with some 50/50's, and said that they have been known to thrive in just flourescents. i dont think im spelling that right.

...but then again, they also said this thing dont sting too, so...
