anemone bible

Just wanted to know where I could find one to do some extensive reasearch on them with pictures, diagrams, the whole shoot and match per say.


Thanks for the replies
Aaron

Ps I have read everything here, so outside sources are more welcome than the ones on this site.

Aaron,
Unfortunately, there isn't a book that I know of that specifically deals with captive anemone care using modern techniques.

Much of the stuff that is written is borrowed from other outdated sources so isn't very reliable.

The info on anemones in Joyce Wilkerson's book "Clownfishes" is mostly from her own research of people who successfully keep anemones and is pretty good. The Sprung and Delbeek series of books Volume 2 has a section on anemones. I can't tell you how complete the info is, as I have only read bits and pieces while browsing through LFSs.

Our FAQ that you have already read is one of the best collections of info on keeping anemones that I have found.

This article http://fins.actwin.com/species/anemone.html was written in the early 90's. A more polished version with pictures was published in "Tropical Fish Hobbiest" in April or March of 1993?(I think, I know there is a garibaldi on the cover ).
It was written before there were T5 or CF fluorescent bulbs and only a few people were using Metal Halides, but most of the info/opinions are still valid.

For those unaware, Phil is very humble.
Joyce Wilkerson has quoted him by name in her book "Clownfishes".

So when do you start shopping for a publisher, Phil?

That is one of the best resources I've seen. Carlos hosts our(ReefCentral's) Anemone FAQ. They are one and the same document.
