Anyone buy Anemones from Sea Life Inc?

[homebrewdude]

I was looking at buying my first anemones for my tank.

Anyone buy these??

How did you like them?

I don't know anything about the company. I don't know if it matters to you or not, but
be aware that none of those anemones will host clownfish.

That won't work then.
Can I buy these and also ones that will host in the same tank?

It is a 120gal tank

I purchased 2 of these flower anemones from sea life for my tank. I HIGHLY recommend this guy as everything I have ever gotten from him has been as advertised and shipped very professionally. Great freebies too!

God Bless,

Do you have any other anemones in the tank?

 

[bassetbros]

yes...I've got a 4" macrocactyla doreensis (Long Tentacle Anemone) as well. The LTA was purchased SEVERELY bleached but has now regained the majority of its zooxanthellae and is looking very healthy. The flowers are very healthy as well. They have grown from about 4" when purchased in June '06 to about 5-6" to date.


I haven't had any problems with these anemones in my tank. I've been told it's a bad idea due to the additional alleolopathy housing multiple anemones can cause. I do run carbon and purigen 24/7 and perform monthly water changes. I have to say that these animals are more healthy today than they were when purchased. Just my experiences.


Attached is an older pic of one of the flowers and the LTA. The LTA is now brown with green tips and the flower has moved about 6" farther away from the LTA.

God bless,
Basset

I purchased corals from him about a year ago. The website was a little clunky, but what he delivered was superb. Good prices and some freebies to boot. If Im' not mistaken I think he only ships like Mondays and Wednesdays. The rest of the week he's diving.

I've got shrimp,crabs,and corals from him,packaged well and very satisified.

I bought my dark green rock/flower anemone from ken over at sea life inc.. a little over a year ago... the anemone went from my 37gal to my 72gal to now my 90gal, extremely hardy and now my cinnamon clown, YES my cinnamon clown HOSTS it, that picture of the clown hosting on ken's page is mine...

took forever but the clown does now host it
