Which anemone for my situation?

[forddna]

I'm sure this is the 1,000th thread like this, but please bear with me.

I have a 6' 220g tank with a pair of wild caught true percs. They are currently hosting my Toadstool. I don't mind, but I would like to have an anemone.

I have 3 x 250w MH's and moderate flow..about 25x turnover. 900gph return and 4 x Koralia 4 powerheads (1200gph).

This would be my first anemone, btw. What the heck..here's a tank pic.

I'd say a bubble tip anemone or a long tentacle anemone would do well with your clowns in your system

that much flow i would almost point to a carpet anemone. but be careful i heard they are fish eaters....

but if you could get the bta to go somewhere where it would have a block from the powerheads.....that could work to. its really a personal preference to what you want.

i think in the faq it says true/false percs like carpets....but mine love my rtba...so go figure....

on a side note keep the nem away from the frogspawn im dealing with that right now sadly the frogspawn will win....

There are a few lower flow areas. Remember, it's a 30" tall tank. The powerheads are up fairly high to accommodate the zoas and shrooms near the bottom.

I'm skeered of carpets. I like all my fish. lol

Your flow shouldnt be an issue with and anemone. I have 54x turnover in my 125 with a haddoni and a gbta. Im kinda worried about you putting a bta in though. They are always up on the rock work. No matter where you first put it, its gonna move. You have a lot of nice corals that could get harmed in this process. So Im leaning towards sand dwelling anemones. Carpets are nice(mine has eaten a lot of fish though) So maybe a LTA or a Sebae. Although, chances are since the clowns are using that nice toadstool they wont even pay any attention to an anemone.
