29g anemone for picasso

[demonboy369]

Ok as the title states I have a 29g and it is for my picasso clowns. The tank is going to be designed for them and them alone.

So I want to know what anemone is best for them in that size tank?

I want the biggest anemone I can keep for them in that size tank. I doubt they will be upgraded to a bigger tank. Therefore I dont want any that will outgrow or eventually not be healthy in that size.

I have a couple months before I will be getting an anemone But I like to plan ahead and want to know what I should be looking at.
I like the look of a LTA but what LTAS will stand out in a tank of corraline and be safe?

It is a perfecto 29g.

I will feed them silversides and the occasional live fish if needed... molly or whatever is cheap and common (nothing special as i believe in aquaculture saving reefs)

What light and flow do you reccomend for the anemone you choose?

There most likely wont be any other coral in there and I dont plan any other fish as i plan to breed eventually (started research already and fish are about 1/2 if that tells you anything)

I appreciate your responses. Also can you put a difficulty rating on that anemone from 1-5 5 being almost unkeepable.

Anemone won't grow very much if you don't feed them much. While size of the tank is an important factor, there are other factor that is much more important. Water condition, light and circulation. Is there going to be a sand bed or not?
Size wise, in a 29 you should keep BTA.
In a small tank, sand bed anemone are safer because they don't move around or up unless they are unhappy. Moving anemone is a danger to themselves and to the tank.
FWIT, I keep a H. magnifica (I would rate it 4/5 in term of dificulty) in a 30 g cube. Not to brag or any thing but most people will fail if they try to do this.

I always thought BTAs liked rocky overhangs, with their foot under the ledge and rest stretching up towards the light. Wouldn't a LTA be a better choice for a nem if you wanted it to anchor in the sand bed? I'm having to make a decision between the two also.

A LTA won't always stay on the sand bed. I have one that for some reason likes to be up on the rocks, stinging my nice SPS. That being said, you may get one that stays put.

PH are maxi-jets with filter mesh over the intake to prevent anyone getting sucked into the PH.

There wont be any other coral in there to worry about stinging.
just the clowns CUC anemone sand and rock
