Rock / flower anemones

[Myles]

They are easy, very long lived, stay put for the most part once they settle in, and will reproduce for you.

I cannot get mine to reproduce.?. I have 4 and no babies. Looks like I might have to be on the lookout again for another to add.

Good call I might get me one will they peacefully coexist with an rbta

 

[GrizFyrFyter]

No conflicts so far

I have one of the greens. I like the colorful ones. Just my luck my greens would end up reproducing and I would get another green one.lol

So you think that they would 'reproduce' a different color?

I've kept rock anemones for almost 30 yrs, still have 1 that is over 7 yrs old, and while anything is possible, I've yet to have them 'reproduce'

I've got over 50 rock anemones together in my 30g they are probably the easiest of all anemones to keep. I feed mine every 3-4 days and have had them all for about 4.5 months and waiting for all of my ultras to spawn so I can get some babies. But overall great anemone to get and quite hardy as well.

 

[generaltoaster]

wow great stuff.
is there a minimum tank size for these guys?

 

[GrizFyrFyter]

Whatever size you can keep stable. My biggest one is a little bigger than my Palm. They don't move much but do require more frequent feedings.

Other than a few people here that say that they have 'propagated' these anemones, I'm not aware of any others being successful with that!

My biggest one is a little bigger than my Palm... They don't move much but do require more frequent feedings.
...but do require more frequent feedings.

Palm size is not full grown ...mine usually get to at least 6" diameter...
I've been keeping them for almost 40 years, and they have always done fine with 1 or 2 feedings a month!

Interesting.

Mine are young. They were both the size of a quarter a few months ago. They both manage to grab mysis shrimp during feedings so I really only feed them specifically once a week or so.
