I have found the large anemones to be very particular about where they 'root'. I had a large green carpet for a while (before he/she got too big) that wandered a lot before finding a place to settle down. I would try to set up a few pices of live rock in a small semi-circle that the anemone...

What are you feeding them. I have found that I must feed my tank much more heavily to keep my tangs in good health. Try chunks of PRoV gelatin food in a clip. Simon

Four tangs in a 120 is a stretch - I only keep three in my 180. Simon

I imagine that it is a squarespot - the female is yellow, not pink! If yours is pink it is a male. I have never had much sucess with this fish, I find the lyretail to be a much hardier fish. The key to all anthias (read Scott Michael's excellent anthias summary in Reef Fishes vol 1) is frequent...

Is it a hard crust or soft. I have fire coral (millipora) in my tank, and that is what it looked like initially. Simon

Try frozen mysis shrimp - my Kole eats these with great enthusiasm. Could also try Pro-V frozen food in a clip. Simon

You could try bartletts or squampinnis (lyretails). Personally I have had no sucess with dispars - couldnt get them to eat. Best bet in a 55 is to just add one, however, if you wish to have a group I would add 4-5 females and let one change. I have a group of 9 squampinnis (1 male) in my 180...

I have one male and eight females in my 180 gallon reef and they do really well as a group. I would not, however, add a male to your tank. I think you would be better off adding 2-3 more females. Anthias will change gender, but from female to male - not the other way around. If you add a few...

Other than the 'rock' anemones, which are really easy to keep for long periods of time; I have had an H. Magnifica in my tank now for almost 2 years. It is host to a pair of ocellaris clowns and measures about 10 inches across the oral disc. It is not the most colorful anemone (light violet...

I have been told that the Asfur angel is effective at controlling pest majano anemones. Has anyone found this to be true? If so, did you find the Asfur to be reef-safe (at least sort-of?)? Lastly, what is the prevailing view of being able to introduce an Asfur into a 180 gallon reef that...
