    ok so ive heard you should move an anemone until the tank has been of 8 months of age. but would it be okay to move the anemone if just about everything but the sand in the old tank is moved into the nre tank

    he wants to move 2 anemones from the 55gal. tank into the new bowfront.

    he was told that a tank has to be around 8 months old and well established for an anemone to survive. but the bowfront has sand / liverock and was filled with water from the 55, it has also been up and running for 2months now. can he move the anemones and have them survive ?
