anemone

[team2jndd]

In my 58 gallon reef I have a rose tipped bubble and was thinking of getting a sebae anemone because a lfs has one that hasnt been bleached and it is very nice. I have a coralife skimmer rated up to 150 gallons on my tank and a refugium. Would the two anemones be too much for this system?

No, as long as you have a well established tank with good lighting, then you'll be fine. Just a note though, I hope you don't plan on putting a lot of corals in there or anywhere close to your anemone. The Anemone will sting your corals!!! They need to be placed far away from your corals cause they have long tentacles... :happyfish

I don't know much about anemones, but I think i read that anemones chemically attack each other through the water and therefore you should only keep one species in a tank.

Lighting is one of the biggest obstacles for anemones, sebae's require MH lighting in order to do really well, they are one of the more sensitive, touchy anemones.
I personally do not like to recommend that anyone have more than one species in the tank, but that's up to you. Personally I think 2 species in a 58 gallon would be to much.

I have a Q....my rose bubble actually stays in the shade? whats up with that??I havent got my hood totally finished yet...there for only running atinics and one 10000k day bulb...i bought a piece of live rock with this anemone on it,,<it was in the shade in their tank too.> it seems to like it. and seems to be doing well...it eats when i feed it little shrimp. I figured it would go straight to the top of the tank...but it hasn't
