Rock Anenome

Picked up a couple of frags for $30 cdn, a zoa colony and a yellow polyp colony. The YP Colony had a rock anenome about 2" in dia. on it. How big do they get and will my F. Clowns host it when it gets bigger? 8)

 

They can get fairly large, but it really all depends on the type. Unfortunately clowns rarely reside in rock anemones. I believe the sting is just too strong, but I am sure someone will say that their clowns love their rock anemone.

 

where is the best place for the rock anenome? High, mid or bottom?

 

With anemones they get to pick the right spot. He will settle in where the light and flow are just right. Sometimes this can cause problems with corals as they will sting anything within range.
All anemones need high water quality, strong lighting and some room to roam if they decide to move about.
Trying to keep them isolated in a specific area of the tank usually leads to their demise.

 

I got one on a piece of LR also that I had sitting on the sandbed. It has multiplied and I now have four. Three of them stayed low in the tank. The 4th one is higher and less colorful. I'd say put it low.

 

Thanks will let em find his own home

 

i LOVE rock anemones
