I've been researching into buying an anemone. (My children insist that our clown fish needs a home :D)
From what I've read it can be difficult to pick out a healthy Anemone specimen and that they can be tough to care for. I was wondering if you guys could give me some real world tips and wisdom.
I'm running a 75 gallon with 2 white T5s and 2 Actinic T5s but my fixture can hold up to bulbs if I need them. Water Quality has been good. 0 Amonia, 0 Nitrites, 0 Nitrates using the drip tests. Tell the truth the tank is pretty sparsly populated at the moment so that helps.
My LFS is carying a long tentacled red or purple anemone, or another one that appears to have short fat green tentacles with orange tips. By fat I dont mean Bubble Anemone fat. I think the tentacles may have been close in cause they had it in a low light tank as they want it to move from its current peice of live rock which is a bit large for it.
Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
