Yes the wonderful life of the Anenome
Why do you have one?

lets see pictures of all your anemones!

Sorry but I do not have any pictures to show. I have two RBTAs and my marroon clown has taken them both over. I got them because of the symbiotic relationship they have with clownfish. I never get tired watching them together. I also have a magnificent coral which seems to be nice for my perculas.

I have one BTA, started out the size of a quarter, and is now softball size in regularly inflated. I have lucked out, my anenome hasn't moved from his spot in the rock for 3 years. He sits directly under a MH light, and right under my prizm skimmer return. So, he gets a nice steady current and lots of light. He is quite happy.

I got one in the hopes of my clowns hosting with it. But also, just had a fondness for them.

I used to have a few, not any longer.

I first got mine for my maroon clown, just because I thought it needed to be that way. It only took reading and coming here to realize how difficult they were. My first anemone was healthy for close to 18 months, then it was torn apart by my coral banded shrimp (the anem got to close to the shrimps lair). Another anemone was just for looks, but he ended up to be a fish eater so I traded him in.

I may try more anemones in the future, but for now SPS is my priority.

well since there are around 28 speces of anenomefish and only 10 yes ten! anenomes that house them why do we try to force this?

[wharyat]

Since the interaction is so unique; people want this happening in thier own fish tank.
