Default Any advice for first time Anemone Owner?
I just got my first anemone. i was told it is a bubble tip but has long tentacles and no bubble tips. it is a really nice green color and was a good deal here thru this forum. it is in a 20 Gallon nano with 130 Watt compacts. wondering if anyone has pointers to help raise is successfully?

The more you feed it the more it will split, I started with one and now have 9.
I quit spot feeding long ago.

don't put anything in the tank you don't want the anemone to move across and sting plus cover your intakes if you have power heads or a closed loop.

The bubble tips tentacles lenght and colors will vary with different light and i'm sure other small factors.

Plan on it growing to at least 12" in diameter and taking up half your tank.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Just curious, but when they split do the clones have bubble tips if the original no longer has them?

Mine has not shown bubbles yet. i understand this is normal in some tanks and many factors come into play. this is my first one. i am glad it is only max 3" When fully open. gives me room to let it roam. i have what could be considered high flow for a 20 Gallon and thought that was important... but mine seems to move away from the high flow areas. anyone able to shed some light here?
