Heteractis Magnifica or carpet

[bkvreef]

I am interested in getting one of those two anemones (I haven't done any research, yet).
I have a 55g
algae blenney
ywm goby
2 percs
6 line
5 chromis
4 X 65 PC lighting (2-10,000, 2- actinic)
Any suggestions on the anemones. Or warnings?

Neither with that lighting, try a bta.

I wouldn't try any anemones with that lightning.

Actually, a bulb anemone would do quite well. This includes the Rose version. I would also recommend the Condylactis (wont host clowns), and tube anemones (wont host clowns-is actually non-photosynthetic). But DEFINETLY no carpet or ritteri.

i'm pretty sure your tank is far too small for the heteractis magnifica. :thinking:

I tried a ritteri in my 24 gallon....not a good idea unless that is all you are going to put in the tank. Mine started to fight with the corals. The clowns were very happy but everything else NO. I finally took it back to the store. Might try a BTA soon. I hear that they are much better in smaller tanks.
