Do you know about the free ananomies?

Coldwater tanks isn't the issue here. He is keeping what can be regarded as a coldwater species in a warm water tank.

When I asked what species it was a definitive reply was not given, but was rather vague. This leads me to believe that the "homework" that was done isn't so much for any research and experimental purposes, but rather just trying to save a few $. Am I right, Himself? (I get that you are very anti-LFS).

The link that monza provided states that the species, assuming that it is the species in question, ranges all the way to Panama. So the species appears to be capable of living in warm water, but one could argue that the local specimens are acclimatized to coldwater and thus should remain in coldwater.

The link also says never remove this species from their native habitat.

I think a little more "homework" and "calculation" should have been exercised regarding this before the anemones were removed from their habitat. JMO.

Cheers,

PS- I tried bringing up Vancouver Aquariums website to find out any local info on this species but their website appears down now. (Can't bring it up).
