What is the hardiest anemone to keep?

[AJT]

I have a crud load of bubbles, but would like something different.

Will a long tentical thrive in an aquarium??

Which carpet will thrive? Haddon?

Thanks

condy is pretty hardy.

bicolored condys look pretty cool, esp under blue light

Looking more for carpet type / long tentical..

Something my clowns will host. Bright colored, & will thrive in an aquarium.

LTAs are not so hard if you can get one that hasn't been damaged and if you have enough sand. Haddoni is also pretty hardy, but can be a problem due to fish-eating.

S. haddoni and E. quadricolor for the hosting anemones

Thats a Purple Long Tentacled Anemone. Easy to keep as well if you are able to keep bubbles. One difference are bubble nems like to attach to rocks and LTA likes to attach beneath the sand and anchor something solid like a live rock. LTA foots gets easily teared so if you buy one make sure too look under the foot.

Thanks for the info.

Bubbles multiply like rabbits in my tank. When I moved everything over to the new tank I counted 18.

:fun2:

I wish mine would do that. I put in 9 and when I moved my tank I had ... 9 lol.
I just bought a Green Haddoni and is real healthy. But as others say its a mean one and is good to have wiley fish in with it. It darn near yanked the feeding stick outta my hand yesterday when I fed it. So I am converting my LPS tank to a Carpet tank and get another cool colored carpet. I have 3 mini maxi carpets in that tank too. Which you might want to think about. They come in all kinds of different colors and patterns. And play well with others. I have seen reef setups where they are literally carpeting the tank. But they don't host clowns.

Wait, are you planning to add an LTA or haddoni in with a tank that has BTAs already?

If you can keep btas/but not together you should have no problem with a lta.They get pretty big, my purple tip was approximatly 20'' across when I sold it.

Yes! I am planning that.

I think there are 5 RBTAs & 2 GBTAs in there right now.
