Trying to find healthy gigs are a problemI have lost a few ,they dont seem to show signs of fading till its to late. Others might like to chime in on this. At first purchase they were ok with low flow , now that settled in they seem to like more flow. I wish they were easier to keep they are awsome when healthy.

the food of my anemones is quite varied, I dive at night and collect baby Anchoviella lepidentostole myssis and also, I prefer to feed the anemones with little food, which can be digested in a short time, some people say that if you feed the anemone with very small pieces and throwing it in the tentacles will start to stretch over the tentacles and more beautiful, and if you make great foods in the mouth it starts to get with the shorter tentacles.
I do not know if this difference or not, but I prefer to feed well.

I have 15 anemones BBT, and had a sebae who died crushed in a powerhead
lighting is 8 T5 more 4 and 80w HQI geisemann of 250w
the tank is 2.70 X 0.70 high and 0.60 wide

these are the puppies Anchoviella lepidentostole and some also appear in the photo myssis

I have a restaurant and when I clean a fish that has eggs in the belly I keep to feed the fish and anemones as well.
those with a pipette that comes in packs of water tests, I caught a little of this mixture and anemones in the game, preferably with the movement off.
