So your tank has been set up and had fish in it for about 6 months? How big is the tank? What are your water parameters (salinity, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, etc.)? What lighting do you have on it?
Oceanists is right. Sometimes you'll be lucky enough to have an anemone come in with your liverock as a hitchiker but not always (and then sometimes you're UNLUCKY enough that only the aptasia anemone comes in on your liverock
) Most people end up having to buy an anemone when they're ready for one.

but i c some of the fish store they success to grow with the water running system, like a very long tank flashing through around 5 or 6 meter, some of that already grow bit like "pategon", and they seller take chance sell high firger!
my friend also got some white spot like flower at the rock! his tank is 4 fit! n he put lot treatment about raise anemone n marine vit inside! is that possible to make it raise? :notsure:

Like it was stated above, anemones doesn't come on LR unless your lucky to have one as a hitchhiker, unlucky if you have a aiptasia anemone! You can't raise anemone with a kit. You have to buy them!!!! Are you Vietnamese? From your name I thought you might be. I have a hard time reading what your writing. Nothing against you or anything! :happyfish

Ohhh I'm sorry but I think we're having a language barrier problem here because I'm not sure what you're asking
(Is there possibly ANYONE here on the boards that might speak ken lim's language?)
Well let's see if we can break it down simply so that we can both understand each other better. Can you give us a picture of what you want? Are you trying to get color on your liverock or an anemone?
Hi Ken Lim this is Eric, Danes friend. What color is the growth you are looking for?? It sounds like at or 6 meters you are talking about a live rock curing tank at your fish store. Some times you will get small creatures in with your live rock but none of the good anemones usually survive the transport of the rock. It also sounds like you have a bad green hair algea problem. there are no flowering bits to that. It also sounds like you need a partial water change if your number three reading is very high ( is it the nitrates reading). On all of this i'm just guesing. If you can find an interpreter it would take some of the guess work out of this

i test all the thing inside all normal, but no3 quite high , is that affect their grow? :notsure:
NO3(Nitrate), this is a problem where you get algae blooms. Need to do some water change to lower this, how high is it? Need to do at least 20-25% every other day to lower it down to near 0. Like I've mentioned above, there's no flowers, you have to buy the flowers and it will require a well established tank before you can purchase the flowers and need a good lighting kit too! What size is your tank? Plus what are your readings, PH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and salinity? How long has it been running? :happyfish

( i got 3 diffrent damsel n one magoon clown fish) both of them is hungry creature
always bet 4 food!! haha

It sounds like you are doing much better this time! Going slow with saltwater tanks is a lot better than rushing.
Yes, damsels and clownfish are big beggers for food
Your tests look good for fish except that no3 (nitrate). Like Mikeyjer said, the high nitrate is feeding your "bad" algae. Putting "grass" in (I guess that is a macroalgae?) will help and also do partial water changes.
What kind of anemone did you want?

you have to have really good lighting for an anemone to survive. What kind of lights do you have?

there are different lighting setups. we need to know the kind of lighting setup you have, not the kind of bulbs.

Hi ken lim. Can you show us a picture of your tank??

That was a good idea, kimC!
ken lim, we are just trying to find out what kind of lights you have. Did they say that they are power compacts?

how many watts are your lights , if you have 4x65 watts on a 55 gallon your will have success with a Aquacultured Rose Bubble Tip , which your maroon clown will dive3 right into ............... the anemone will be shy for the fir5st couple of weeks , it wil;l also shrivel up , dont be concerned with this it is normal behavior , it is acclimating to your lighting setup and water qaulity
