Looking for an anemone that I can..

[Gig 'em]

If you really want some small colorful low light corals like that, just buy some polyps

Some of these need moderate to high light. What exactly does that mean? Where is a good place t buy them online?

thanks

NICE!!! How much light? What kind of care do they need?

its a filter feeder, not even a true anemone, it does not require light. This means you can keep it under pc or mh (I kept mine under both) I had one for a while until it outgrew my tank and I traded it to someone on this board (those are my pics).

You can sometimes find them on divers den (liveaquaria) and if you ask you LFS most likely they can order it for you.
They come in tons of colors and they usually look flourescent .. especially under actinic(like that second pic).

They CAN grab a fish. (they are not hosting anemones). However, I had one in a tank with a slow.. stupid mandarin among other things and it never hurt one critter in my tank. It shoots back in its tube like a featherduster when anything gets close. Its a scaredy-cat. I really loved mine

I think I paid like 40-50 bucks for it. You can get them real tiny with like tentacles only 1-2" and they get BIG. Mine the tentacles were like 8"... but the GREATEST thing about them???? You get to chose where they stay! you put them in the sand (must have a deep sand bed of at least 3-4 minimum) and wherever you put them, they attach thier tube just like a featherduster and never move.

I always loved the tube anemone.. but now I have a 24g packed to the hilt and cant fit one

Good Luck! Hope this gave you a idea
