Anemone care

Attached is a picture of my anemone. Do I feed it? Does it just get food out of the tank? If I need to feed it....what do I feed it?

 

That is a bleached Sebae anemone

Anyway you need excellent lighting to keep this anemone long term. With supplement feedings of small pieces of raw seafood such as shrimp, fish and such. It may regain some of it's normal cream coloration, with good lighting, excellent water parameters and occassional feedings.

Best thing you can do is start researching.

 

I have a 110G tank with Metal Halides and PCs. Fish store told me it was excellent lighting. Hope they were right. Thanks sooo much for your help!!

 

Best thing would have been to do research before purchasing.

 

Yes that will do for lighting.

You have a shot at it, but even liveaquaria list them as difficult in care requirements. Right now it just looks bleached and you can fix that, but if is starts to wander, float around, develop a gaping oral opening, then you need to worry. Just keep excellent water parameters and feed weekly or every two weeks.

Good Luck;D

 

Lesson learned. Advice duly noted about research first!! After all...it's about them not us....

 

thanks for advice

Due to advice from 3Reef users my anemone is doing very well. The attached picture shows how it's color has changed and how much it has grown. Thanks!!!

 

Congrats on growing a healthy anemone and keeping it healthy. Honestly is looks so different. Looks like a LTA to me now.

Good Job.

 

Congrats are indeed in order! The anemone looks great!

 

Congrats! When I first started the hobby I bought a bleach LTA that was sold to me as a green BTA. Looked just like yours. Now over 9 years latter, it still looks like yours now, just a bit bigger. Great thing
