Hello,
I have a 10 Coupon from SWF so i figure i'd order an Anemone for my new Clownfish. My question is i also have 2 hermit crabs about 1 and half inches in length. Will they bother it?
Thanks :)

First, how old is the tank, and what type of lighting do you have....
I don't think the hermits would bother it though

What size powerheads?
What kind of anemone are you going to get? A lot of people say the T5HO's are ok...is that what you have? How many watts?

Kor #2's for the powerheads
T5's think are 18k but not 100%
Was thinking of something for my clown BTA or something like that. What do you recommend for my setup?

18K??? Not sure about that...what is the make and model of your light?
You may need some more water movement...2 K2's is not very much for a 55g...Might want to add a 3 too....
I have a BTA...LOL...My clowns have never gone near it...but a lot of other people's do...I think it depends on the clowns...nothing is for sure...
