Hear me out,
I know they're an anemone. Here's the rundown.
I used to keep dwarf seahorses in my 5 gallon. My old tank cracked and I got a new one and set it as a bonsai garden, all decor, no live rock or rocks of any sort, nor coral (hydroids can kill dwarves). When I moved, the remaining 3 seahorse all passed from the stress of moving them (I tried to bag them but one had given birth recently before, so he was stressed, the other 2 couldn't acclimate to tank after transport). They're now unavailable and as much as I looked, I don't have the drive to mass hatch brine shrimp daily anymore, working full time and college full time.
The 5 gallon is a tall with a LED light (not stock light, that wasn't bright enough so I bought a new one), a bridge with lots of surface room, some tulips with large base which leaves some places to wedge between, a larger grain "sand" and a Willow tree. With all the crevices I feel like the maxi mini could find a decent place to wedge.
This is a cycled 7-8 month old tank now with the same cleaner snails, and a shred of dragon's breathe(which is flourishing) from day 1, and water tests prove great water quality.
Also, I ordered 3 sexy anemone shrimp from live aquaria, of which I received 2 healthy, and one DOA. I want a group of at least 3, but the sexy's are rumored to bully newcomers to death unless added in groups, so I want to do an order of 3 and also was debating about getting 1 o 2 maxi minis as well. This is becoming a pretty much dedicated tank solely for the sexy shrimp, so if a plausible idea, I wanted to do an order for them. But if not, that's fine too. I just wanted to get ya'll's input.
Has anyone kept a maxi mini carpet anemone in a tank without live rock successfully?
Thank ya'll! :wave:
