Plants and anemones

[Sangogo]

I've been recently entertaining the thought of adding plants to my main display, rather than just limiting them to the fuge. There are quite a few attractive sea plants out there, and I'd love to make them part of the display. I'm not sure these mesh well with anemones though. My tank is about 130 gallons with 2 BTA, one LTA and various corals here and there. As this is an upgrade from my 50 gallon tank and I didn't really buy any additional corals for the tank, it is still pretty empty by RC standards.

Has anyone here seen any anemone tanks that also feature plants in the display? I'd love to see any pictures.

Certainly so. Many of the sand-dwelling species are found in very close association with algae, seagrasses, etc. Not unnatural or problematic at all.

FWIW, as per my sig, my new tank will reflect a very similar habitat. It will be devoted exclusively to seagrass and a single specimen, probably H. malu, since it stays smaller.

Nice! What kind of seagrasses are you envisioning?

Given the tank size, etc., I am using Halophila decipiens. I may very well change my mind later, but the Halophila is filling in nicely and looks like a short lawn.
