Pies Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Anal Fin When taking photos make sure all room lights are off, close the curtains etc. Cuts out all the reflections. http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/anemonecare/ http://www.wetwebmedia.com/anemoneidfaqs.htm If you purchased it from Auckland, chances are that Aquanet brought it into the country. This means Reef may be able to ID it for you. Anemones can be a real problem, infact they can be a MAJOR problem! - They can and will walk around the tank, stinging and knocking over corals. - NEVER use a powerhead if there it a chance that an Anemone can get to it. The powehead will suck in ans shred the anemone, killing it and poisoning everything else. Lots of examples of anemones wiping out whole tanks on RC/UR etc. - Anemones can sting and kill fish. Examples of them eating yellow tangs, blue tangs, copperbands, grouper etc. The can get LARGE! They require good water conditions for long life, otherwise they may just die. They also require HIGH light and lots of wate flow. All the negatives aside they are very cool, and great watching clownfish zoom in and out of them. Remeber not all clownfish go in all anemones, so you need to ID your Anemone before adding clowns or the other way around. Check out pics of my tank for the location of my H.Magnificia anemone, he stings acropora, burns my hand when I touch him, has walked half way around the tank. EVIL! But cool. He gets his own spot in the new tank! Good luck, try and give us some better photos and let me know when you get it ID. Pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
