What anemone ?¿

[Jordan_Oreo]

Hey, iam looking into buying a anemone. I have a 55G tank with two T5`s as lighting. I was wondering what anemone would do best in my tank and one that would be good for my clown fish. I would like somthing that is easy to maintaine if possible and that i can find at my lps. If anyone could let me know of some that would be great.

Thanks

i have a bta. not to hard to take care for and mine is under PC's. they might move around the first few days after introduced but thats normal. like most clownfish-hosting-anemones they do require feedings every once in a while. they eat things like silvers sides, table shrimp, krill, etc. its not a natural host for your ocellaris but after a while of being in the tank they will probably host it, unless you have any other soft coral that the ocellaris wants to be hosted by instead of the bta.
good luck
