Nem advice for a 20L

[xrayjeeper83]

So I just got a 20L up and running, broke down my old 37 and moved everything over. I'm wondering what would be a good nem for that size tank. I'm looking for something a little different, everyone has a BTA, unless I found one with crazy colors.

What is a good hosting nem that doesn't get overly huge like a carpet does? Something that can live its whole life in a 20L.

bta's and maxi-mini's are about the only things that would stay that small as far as i know, that would host anything

maxi mini dont usually host fish, they eat them

Was just about to say the same. Just looked em up on live aquaria

What about a sebae?

You can get a H. malu. They stay small and. with a sand bed, will not craw up and kill your corals. It is a relatively unusual anemone. Malu will host Percula or Ocellaris

H. crispa can get huge.

+1 for H. malu

I've got a bare bottom. But its more of a fowlr tank, only a few extra shrooms that were just floating around my 75 reef

Well after looking that one up on liveaquaria, looks like it should be in the sand.

Guess I'll just wait for a sick BTA

Correct, H. malu would require a sand bed.

Maxi nems will host shrimps and some crabs. I had a sexy shrimp sharing a maxi with an anemone crab, it was a very enjoyable section of the tank to watch. My clowns, percs, never went near it.

sorry i was thinking about the bta hosting but the maxi mini being a small anemone,
