    I have a chance to buy a mated pair of clowns and a anemone from a guy that has to move the tank tomorrow . He sent me a email saying the nem was stuck tight to a rock covered with corals . He says he has had succes prying them off rocks before . Should I stay away from this deal . I'm kinda scared the nem will be injured and polute my tank . Thanks for any help .

    Just make sure tht the person takes the time and noesn't force the anemone. Forcing the anemone will possibly injure the base of the anemone!!!!
    What kind of anemone is it and have you kept anemones before?
    Make sure your lighting will support the anemone as well.

    I have one green nem in the tank now I have had him for about 8 months I'm not sure what kind it's from Florida .
    I'm using 4 48 " T-5s and 2 110 VHO's . Here is a pic of the fish and nem . I didn't think 60.00$ was a bad price for the groupe ? I'm supose to pick them up tonight .

    Nice and good luck! You lucked out!
    I would say that the anemone you have now is a flower or rock anemone. It looks like the one in the picture is a Pacific Long Tentacle anemone.
