What is your favorite Anemone?

[SomeDude12]

I appreciate all of mine as well. I would love to add a gigantea or haddoni, however, I don't want to risk my inhabitants possibly being consumed. Here's a recent video of my 125.

As you can see, I have other fish as well. There are risks associated, particular anemone's are more risk than others. Hints the reason I steer from any carpet, other than a maxi mini.

carpets are the ones that like to eat other fish? lol

I would stick to BTAs, preferably aquacultured. Read up on different anemone species, and realize how challenging they are, and you'll see why. While still not "easy," bubbletips are the hardiest and most adaptable of the clownfish-hosting anemones. They're also natural hosts for your clarkii, and available in many beautiful colors, often aquacultured.

It's easy to get excited and feel like a kid in a candy store, but don't bite off more than you can chew! It's much, much better to take things slowly.

aipstasia.......those things are just unstopable.....yeah yeah yeah they are a complete nuisance, and a nightmare to deal with, but they absolutely have to be given the most respect for being the toughest, headstrong, almost immortal of all of them lol. typing this after mixing up a new concoction to try to nuke them with lol.

I like and have kept btas,but my favorite is a mag.I finally got my nerve up to try one.

 

[bjledbetter]

I like the colors of the bta's and have a rbta but I like my Ritteri a lot too. I would love to one day have a haddoni.

What about those zebra anemones?? I just saw some for first time yesterday.. Do they host??

 

[garygb]

Zebra anemones? Common names for anemones don't mean a lot. I think you may be referring to Heteractis aurora. They are sometimes referred to as a nursery host. When clownfish are immature, they are sometimes found associating with this species. As for adult clownfish, clarkii is sometimes found with aurora.
