what kind of anenome you have?
 
I am wondering what kinna anenome is suitable for a 90 gal display, I made a mistake of buying a rose anenome a year ago, when I bought it, it was 5 inches big, right now its almost 18'' big, too big for my tank, I have to move my coral away from him, so I have decided to take him out and replace it with a different kind, maybe carpet? i dont know. what do you guys think?

ps. how come my rose anenome isnt bubble tip anymore? I have it under 2 400watt MH(hes on the botton of my tank), it should be more than enough light for him isnt? no direct flow towards him either, what could it be?

I heard they can have long tips if not fed enough or a lighting issue which doesn't seem to be your case.

jl has some small rbta you could always sell it and buy a small one although $120 is steep!

Some carpets get over 3 feet wide, if size is an issue I'd look at something else ;) I have two BTA's that aren't huge yet but I'd imagine they will grow. Are you looking for something to host your clowns?

BTA = Bubble Tip Anemone.

I have a large one in my 90, bought him small maybe 2" across, but he now expands to well over a foot during the day.
