E. Quadricolor and its bulbs (share experience please! :))

[TheVillageIdiot]

Hello,

I'm interested in individual keeper's experiences with the bulbs of their E. Quadricolor... Looking for the following information.

1. Age of the Anemone (how long in the tank)
2. Other Cnidarians in the tank
3. Tank Size, depth included
4. Lighting, type, bulb k-rating, photoperiod
5. Presence of Hosts (aside from zoox)
6. Description of "bulbing" behavior

------------------------------------------------------------------
Mine:

1. 2 weeks
2. 1x stalk Xenia Elongetae (hitched)
3. 65g, 24" deep
4. 2x 175w MH, 2x 13k Aqualine SE, 9hrs
5. Yes, 1x Amphiprion Ocellaris
6. Anemone produces bulbs under the presence of lights. At night anemone's tentacles are long, no bulbs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

thanks!

it's a common name, bubble, bulb tip... etc. people refer to the tips of e. quadricolor as bubbles or bulbs.

see here

E. Quadricolor is the scientific name. I suppose if people wanted to call it a barf anemone, that'd be fine...
