carpet anemone

[clowns101]

iv been looking at a haddon carpet anemone.
the anemone is going to be a blue or a green anemone.
i was wandering if the anemone would out grow my 30 gallon tank.
tha anemone will be fed every 3 days.
it will be under 130 watts of T5 lighting.

I think it would out grow a 30g. Mine was well over 13" when I had it. Plus it will eat any thing that touches it, I lost many fish to it.

Even if you fed less (( IMO, every 3 days is way too often )), it would still outgrow a 30.

Most definately, yes, it will outgrow a 30 gallon.
Here is a photo of my haddoni that is in a 4' long 120.

Nice haddoni. I think he is waiting for that Lawnmower to make a mistake.

i will be up gradeing to a much larger tank. i just watnted him in there for a little bit till i got the larger tank set up.

I personally would wait until you get a bigger tank. Blue Haddonis are hard to come by, and can't be assured that you would get one that is small enough for that tank to begin with. Plus, the water quality issues that come with a small tank, and an anemone --- would be surprised at home much waste they produce. They are just beautiful anemones that should give them the best home possible.

My blue one take up about a 1/3 of my tank,
