I pulled the trigger and got my first anemone.

Well, after lot's of heated debates with myself, I decided to go ahead and get an anemone. My LFS had this nice BTA, and a pair of GSMs (sold my picassos for the maroons because I've always liked the Gold Striped Maroons), that I traded some frags for. I was worried about it moving around a lot but so far it hasn't left the rock it came on. It's been in my tank for a little less than a month now. The nem is on the small size for the clowns right now but it doesn't seem to mind the clowns so far.

Nice looking. But, keep a very close eye on the anemone -- would like it to be 3 times the size of the clown, maroons have a nasty habit of "loving" their anemones to death.

Thanks. I've been keeping an eye on the anemone and it seems fine as of now. Any indicators I should be specifically looking for? Or just general healthy looking anemone means it's OK?

It is starts to stay closed up, moves a lot. Lastly the very descriptive, if it looks "off"

 

[The Punisher]

It literaly hasn't moved an inch since I put him in. It will occasionally close up but, from what I've read, that seems to be normal for new nems. It always opens back and is fully inflated in a few hours. And the so called descriptive characteristic of looking "off" is what I've been looking for mostly, and it seems to be OK.:wildone:

man,i have a rbta and a gsm,i tell you what look out for the nem
my clown bit some of the tentacles off because he sucks on them at night.
todd is right,these guys have a big habit of rough snuggling with their nem.
