Im looking for a new coral

[ty_05_f]

Ok, I have a little bare spot in my tank and its in a bad place right next to a condi anenome. Is there a good coral out there that can take a hit and hold its own close to the anenome??? Oh i have 65 watts pc w/ 50/50 bulb and 15 N.O. actenic bulb.

Nope. I doubt any coral would be able to live under such conditions. Is there any way you would be able to move the anemone?

Don't mess with the anemone
Besides if he lives in your tank you need the growth space.

I didn't want it in the first place but my mom got it for me. How big do they get it is already at least 6 inches each tentacle so its about a foot in length. I have been stung by the thing and it left a little whelp this summer.

How big do they get? The answer is as big as they can I bought a very small 2" bubble tip in the summer. That same bubble tip is now over 10" in diameter and has tentacles extending over 5" in length. Due to this, I cannot put any corals near the anemone. The only thing that you could do is to get rid of the anemone and possibly buy a smaller one (which will most likely again grow large), or find a nice home for the anemone and not buy another one. But, for the most part you should be proud that your anemone is thriving in your aquarium.

yeah it's doing well. I just wish it didn't take up so much space. It planted itself right in the middle of the tank.
