anemone for my clowns

[todds]

I have my 125 stabilized again and would like to add an anemone for my maroon clowns. I had a Ritteri anemone in the past that the clowns liked very well, however, I did not like it. It moved constantly and stung everything in its path. Water flow and lighting are not issues as I have 3200 gph of water flow and VHO and MH lighting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maroons look good in a Rose. but nothing beats a carpet, they dont move much either.

Thats a great carpet! How long have you had him? Lighting? Sorry to hijack!

Happy new year!!!!
I've had him almost a year. nursed him back from close to dead. (bought for 30 bucks)
he has always been under MH lights. he eats like a pig, he especially like firefish, clown gobies, and the occasional raw cocktail shrimp. expensive diet lol.

Carpets do have a very powerful sting though, and are pretty aggressive compared to other anemones IMO.

I might be a little concerned about my emporer angel getting stung. my 125 has about 360# of lr and although there is room to swim it is tight in many of the locations I see him in. Ilost a copperband butterfly once when a friend scared the fish and it swam right into my carpet.

why not get an RBTA? Low maintenance IMO...also whats that residing in the top right corner of your tank?

that is a Ritteri anemone I don't have it anymore.

thanks for the info...I know you had mentioned that the ritteri was passe...so was just surprised to see that in the picture...looked great though...almost seemed like there were 2-3 over there and totally loving the light......
Thanks,
Jacob.
