But I started up a pico tank utilizing aipstasia and some other anenome thats considered problematic for its inhabitants. I always try and keep as many pieces of LR rubne etc as I can, as its all good, but there is a limit on how much you can actually put in any tank and still retain a decent look, so when I trim a piece of LR that has a frag on it to fit in the area I want, I usually end up with lots of rubble etc. So I took a 2.5 gal AGA and have been throwing my scrap pieces in it. I have also started adding aipstasia as well. I have some Aipstasia that is yellow or florescent green / yellow and some that appears to be whiteish in color, and is quite nice looking especially under actinic or lunar lights.....So what I wound up with is a tank full of rubble on a LS bed, planted with aipstasia and it looks super.......Added a small sand star from the gulf of mexico (typical florida sand star) which is about the size of a nickle and a couple of tiny blue leg hermits and a cerith snail and its doing just fine. Have a 13 watt PC 50/50 and one lunar light over it, with a AC 20 hob filter. I forget the name of the other type of anemone, but its name starts with the letter M, and is very similar to aipstasia. It has a main stem like xenia does, and its tenticles are more symetrical and rounded on the ends.....instead of pointed and tapering like aipstasia.
