Easiest anemones to care for

[Cj8]

Hi
I would like to get a anemone for my Black & White Ocellaris clownfish that is hardy and easy to care for. Which ones would be best for me?

Not a natural host but I would go with a rose bubble tip. Beautiful and easy in an established tank.

Ok thank but my tank has only been running for about a year.

A year is good, thats how long we usually ask people to wait to get an anemone. As long as your parameters are good and lighting is strong enough it should do fine

E. quadricolor (BTA or bulb) hands down. Not only are they easy to care for, have moderate lighting requirements, but they are also regularly available as frags from a local reefer.

Believe it or not, but I find giganteas to be so far the hardiest and easiest to care for host anemone. Only thing they may require is antibiotic treatment if arriving sick, but when healthy they seem to be able to handle conditions that would kill any other host anemone.
So far I haven't lost a single gig. In about the same time I lost 1 BTA, 1 H. crispa, 1 H. aurora and 4 H. malu.

IME, BTAs are the easiest and hardiest. I've kept BTA, Sabae, Malu, Haddoni, Riteri, and Gigantea. That's the order I would rate the difficulty level.

I have a haddoni carpet that I believe immortal
I kept all but haddoni is easiest, and it host my 12 clowns easily

I have a RBTA that hosted a pair of A. sandaracinos. I had to remove them to treat ich. While they were out the RBTA split 4 times. When I put them back, they did not go back to the RBTA.

i have 2 riteri anemones and i agree bta are easier to care for, although my 2 rioters are doing great and my clowns love them
