I would definitely agree that it is an H.magnifica ( I would have said before, but the I.D didnt seem to be in question :) and will appreciate the 400s that you purchased. Mags will usually climb to the highest spot to receive as much flow and lighting as possible. If that highest rock is...

Oh, OK. Thanks for confirming. Its hard to see the verrucae that all LTAs (M.doreensis) have, and I have never seen a happy LTA that was perched on the rock and not with its foot burried in the sand. FWIW, many/most of the E.quads (BTA) lose their bubble tips and have elongated tentacles in...

Its always difficult to ID from pics, but I am 95% certain that that is not an LTA (M.doreensis) but its an E.quadricolor (AKA BTA)

no, its not too soon and quite normal. Just keep them well fed with good foods.

I am guessing that there is not enough exoskeleton in their diet

Originally Posted by sng My BTA died =( stupid snail killed it, I dont know why the snail went in the anemone ErRR... I got a LTA to replace it, but the LTA is not planting to the rocks. Thats because the LTA (M.doreensis) is a sand dwelling anemone and will hopefully settle into the sandbed...

a BTA (E.quadricolor) is not a natural host, but I know of many BTAs hosting percs. It will be hit and miss with each individual clown I breed percs and often put very young (1/2") percs into a bucket with a BTA and before the percs even get out of my shop (less than 10 minutes), they are using...

Dont over react. The anemone appears to be in decent health. Yes the protruded stomach is a feeding response, but as PD said, dont feed it anything big, but do let it catch some (small pieces) food that makes it passed the anemone. I like to feed with a turkey baster and direct the squirt in my...

usually the clowns dont look at it as feeding the anemone, its more of a " "" "hey will you hold on to this hunk of food for me while I go get more.. I dont want to pass any up."" Using a turkey baster to squirt the food in, and squirting in opposite ends of the tank should help.. I quick...

Karen is right in saying that anemones cant live off of the light alone. They do get nutrition from the sugars produced by the zooxanthallae that is produced by the light, but they need more than that. More than the light, but not as much as what many people think. ( the food that makes it past...

Well said PD! I have some experience with anemones ;-) and I dont feed them directly at all. I do feed my fish heavily enough that the anemones do receive small particles that get past the fish. I am also sure that they get natural feedings in my systems from the pods, etc. In younger systems...

H.aurora

if everything else is "up to PAR" (Water parameters on spot, good carbon use, etc..) the anemone should be OK for awhile. Maybe indefinately, but I would still recommend a halide

Originally Posted by dneffy I was just wondering what type of lighting I would need for a 40B tank. I do plan on adding anemones to the tank. I currently have a LTA in a 20L with a 130w coralife. The current light i have on the 40B (which is currently cycling) is a 260w coralife delux. Would...
