Anemone Tips & Tricks

Well I got mine from Joe at coral haven it is a rainbow rose bubble tip , I feed it with the Girs DIY food about 2-3 times a week I use a maxi-jet 600 and a hydor rotating head on it and it is doing great . I have it under Cree LEDs . Also have a Gbta in another tank that has moved all the way to the top of the tank and it is under a PC / MH fixture and it has placed itself directly under the MH about 6 in under the surface of the water . Same thing on feeds and power head I have found that the less offten I feed them the more they open up and elongate and the more offten i feed them the more compact and tight they stay . Good luck and the only caution I can think to give is know that they do move around and will sting and kill almost any coral they get near .

 

I had a long-tentacled anemone for about 8 years. It was happiest if I fed it krill or shrimp once a week, and it hardly ever moved on me. That particular species like sand to bury their foot in if they can get it, but once I went BB it made do in a rock. I had it under MHs and it stayed at the bottom of the tank. It was also a monster. Literally, it killed anything that touched it, and more than once made very expensive snacks of some prized livestock.


Once it got to be the size of a dinner plate, I decided I'd rather have that room for more coral and I took it and traded it in.
