how olds your tank? You should wait 6 months before you get one.

aww btw i just got a rbta anemone and im trying to see how he does.

get a leather of some sort for her to chill in...toadstools work....also hairy mushrooms. Just something that resembles an anemone

My clownfish killed my leather, killed my waving hand, and nearly killed my toadstool. I'm not convinced that alternative hosts are what clowns need.
What lighting are you using? What are your water readings? Are you feeding the anemone when you have one?

We have been so fortunate with our maroon and long tentacle anemone. Bought them within days of each other and they have been together for nearly 2.5 years. Our tank was only about 3 months old when we purchased them. No one told us to wait, that is why I am saying that we are fortunate. I am learning so much that we did wrong, don't know how any survived.
