jonahpup Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hi there... My name is Lamb, (I have been told it's because I am the sacrificial lamb - my owner is new and I am his first fish) I'm a handsome young tomato clown (I think i'm a male, but haven't really decided yet), and I am in search of a sexy long legged Anemone, but my owner isn't sure if there is a particular type he should put in my tank for me to play in... Can anyone please give him some advice...?? Also, if anyone has a lonely Tomato Clown that may want to move into my tank with me, let me know... its cold and scary on these dark winter nights...

wasp Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 In an aquarium, a tomato clown will live in pretty much any anemone. For a tank your size, a bubble tip anemone is probably best, as the other types may get too big and fill 1/2 the tank, although this is your choice as it depends just what you want, you may be happy with a big anemone. Bubble tip anemones can have long or short tentacles, depending on the light. In bright light they have short tentacles with bubble tips, and in lower light they lose the bubble tips and stretch out the tentacles more. When you first put a bubble tip anemone in the tank they can walk all over the tank for a few days or weeks till they find the exact spot that suits them. During this time you have to keep all pump intakes covered with foam or the anemone may blunder into the pump and get shredded. Other types of anemones move around less, or not at all. Once your anemone is settled, you can add corals without worrying if the anemone will walk over & sting them. And hey, good choice, not much that is more awesome than a clownfish sharing it's amazing symbiotic relationship with an anemone. Here's my two nemos in their anemone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 As I posted on the other site Jonahpup- you'll need to upgrade your lighting to either t5 of MH to keep an anemone.... (Oh and Wasp all your Corals are doing brilliantly thanks ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahpup Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Cool thanks wasp... Any idea where I can get one of these bubble tip anemones from?? and what sorta price I am looking at... and david, I have a couple of 4" T5 lights here as well so I will chuck them on the tank (was always under the impression that T8's were better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 In an aquarium, a tomato clown will live in pretty much any anemone. Or any coral, macroalgae, hair algae, rock, pebble, pile of sand, corner or bit of plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
