Smaller Anemones

[cfsindorf]

What species are smaller that I could put in a nano with a clown or 2 or maybe shrimp?

Thanks

What size "nano" ? The smallest hosting anemone is an H. Malu, and even with that I wouldn't go smaller then a 30 gallon or so.

Todd,

You don't want to read my sig then!

cfsindorf - Absolutely, Positively I would NOT place an anemone in a 'nano' less than 20-40gal until your 'experienced' with the visible triggers of anemone keeping. I have been successful with my nano, but it isn't smooth sailing always and the visible indicators when the BTA is pi$$ed are minor physicl changes. I spend as much time (if not more) maintaining my nano, as I spend on my multi-tiered system.

Moral of the SW story is more gallons gives you a larger margin of newbie error.

Don't forget that E. Quads can/will get 15+ inches across, which will be way too large for any nano tank.

That's where I'm hiding a little secret.... I replace my GBTA with a 'new' split every time the current resident reaches 5" in diameter.
