Anemone

ok i have 2 questions

could i put an anemone in a 10 gallon?

what type could i have with T5s in a 12" deep tank running for 6 months now?

Is a BTA a good choice?

 

10 gal might get tight. The seabea I have would take up the whole tank. I also had a condy at one time that would have done this also. Plus the light you would need to keep it may overheat that small of a tank.

 

Probably none in a 10 gallon. You have the lighting just not the space. Also, you should wait about a year before you add an anemone.
Is this for your clowns? Have you thought about getting something else for them to host?

 

yea i'm getting a hammer coral soon but i saw a really small BTA at my lfs

could i keep a small one then trade it in when it gets bigger

my main question is what type of anemone could be kept under T5s

 

I think that depends on whether your LFS would let you trade
The thing I would be worried about is how touchy anemone's are. And a 10 gallon nano's parameters can swing enough in a day to really stress it. And if one starts to go in that small of a tank, you can kiss everything goodbye.
Hammers work well. Bubbles, torch, frogspawn, toadstools all get hosted on a regular basis too. My pair are hosting a rock of zoa's.

 

mine host some yellow polyps every now and then but i never can get a picture because he moves as soon as i get close

my lfs said they would do a trade if it gets to big i'll wait till a year but just to make shure a BTA would be fine under T5s
