new anemone

i got my first anmone 2day ( atlantic anemone ) its quit big its opened up and moving around the tank think its trying 2 find a place to settle the guy who sold it 2 me said it will be fine in my tank but after reading up on it not so sure, i have blue mushrooms, starburst polyp, kenya tree, button polyp, tangs, clowns, chromis, hermits and shrimp are they ok 2 have in the tank and do u have 2 wear gloves when touching them any suggest

 

never hurts to wear gloves when playin in your tank , though i personally dont and i do not when playing with my anemones either. On a side note i had to remove my hatian anemone from my reef because he wouldent settle down and i was tired of him stinging my corals

 

well everybody tells me to wear gloves when doing any work inside the tank.
ok now the good part..

how big is your tank?
how OLD is your tank?
what are your water parameters?
how long has the nem been moving?

 

All good questions. Also, what lighting do you have? Unless your tank is at least 6-9 months old with very strong lighting, I would strongly suggest not having an anemone. Try to handle it as little as possible, and it is ok to play it safe and wear gloves when you do touch it to avoid a sting.

 

its 200liters,6months old just got a t5 unit with a white and blue light and i kept my t8 life glo and power glo as well just got it 2day and its be moving around and its opened up quite big my water is po4 0ppm, ammonia 0, nitrite n02 0.1mglr, nitrite no3 5mglr, ph 8, s.g 1.023 am due my water change 2moro i phone the place i got it from and they just told me is not a atlantic it some type of bubble anemone does that make a big differents ?

 

200 litres, so about 50 gallons or so. And you have 2 T5 bulbs, with some T8. That's not a lot of light for an anemone....if it is high up in the tank it may be ok or it may not be. Please keep us posted, and consider a lighting upgrade (4 T5s over a 55g tank would probably be fine).

 

You should be fine. Feed it once a week and let it settle where it wants.
