[ptoluv6]

i just got an atlantic anenome for my dad who is a member on here....he is in my tank now...i just want to know someinformation on him....can any of you smart fish people help me?:wildone:

There are a couple of Atl. types, I assume that you're talking about a condy. what info do you need...it will 'walk' around to find a place it likes, it could kill/eat some of your fish, it can burn/kill corals, it can live for yrs, grow quite large and change color. If it will stay in a spot you approve of, it should be hand fed once or twice a week to keep it happy

idk if he is a condy but he is all white....i have an engineer goby,lawnmower bleny,an inch long copperband butterfly, and a clarky clownfish..my anenome is a decent size.Are you saying if my clownfish hosts it, it will eat her? anyway i can prevent that?

IF(big if) it hosts the clown, (mine hosted a tomato for years), it will not kill it...the other fish, especially the tiny CBB could be in trouble, should they swim too close! Mine went from white w/pink tips, to a purple to a solid white, and back to white w/ pink tips over 4 years.
