    You could get two bubble tip anemones, one green (they tend to be neonish) and one red, that would be anice contrast.

    The reason everyone is asking tank status and such is because they know that your tank must be established or should be for a year before you get an anemone. You should have know this already because of all the research you have done. If you have not please read a lot more not to be mean but to be honest if they die they can take your tank down and are hard to keep in a fish tank. There are many different types that require different lighting and water flow ect... If you read up on them alot you will see pictures and such and know what kind you will want. Just can not stress to READ alot about them or anything you purchace. Good luck hope this helps.

    Personally....I say NO anemone. Too much risk having one. They can attack your corals, go into powerheads and nuke tank, and are very difficult to keep. They should be left in the ocean

    I made the mistake of getting one and to soon by the sounds of it. I stress everyday about it. Some days it looks great and others it doesn't. I can't believe the dealer let me purchase it so soon or failed to give me any advice. Plus I don't know what kind it is or if a clown would like it?

    post pictures, one of us will help you figure it out.
    my condy is on it's own schedule.
    it was beautiful and its tips were browning again then it
    shrivled up and i found it in a rock
    after it unwound itself it looked like it'd been through a ph
    but it's slowly starting to inflate again.
    as long as it's not mushy, your fine. enjoy it! ;D
