    Great write up! I had one of these in my mantis tank for a while. It slowly migrated behind the rockwork though and withered away. I would love to get another.

    Nice write up.
    My LFS had them for 25 but since I didn't know the kind of care they required I passed....which I'd gotten it now....they were in a bare bottom tank, though my sandbbed needs to be a bit deeper for them, thankfully that's a cheap fix.

    I only have about 2.5 inches(maybe less) in mine and that's about the average. Maybe see if they can get you one, or keep checking Www.liveaquaria.com

    Great writeup!!!

    I've never seen them take down a large fish but I've seen fish react when they get too close. (They don't make that mistake twice...that's for darn sure)

    I've had them in BB at a store before.....All you have to do is put them in a small disposable tub with sand in it. then when you sell it all you have to do is give away the tub with the anemone.
