Where are the good fish stores?

Great advice, but...

I will also assume some responsibility as Sam has seen my tank before.

People see my beautiful and healthy Bubble-Tip, with the lovely two Ocellaris living in it, and assume that they can have this great symbiosis just by purchasing the necessary ingredients.

Hopefully those of you who are considering an Anemone, will think about the choice, and heed some of the advice given above. While I don't agree with everything said above, I will say that they do require attention unlike most of the inhabitants in a reef tank.

But also consider this. Mine seems to be thriving under only VHO lighting. It has tripled in size and split once in the 6 months I've had it. And only gets fed shrimp and scallops once every week, sometimes less. But also is actively hosting a pair of clowns who look after it, which I'm sure makes a huge difference.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, it's not all doom and gloom with Anemones, just be prepared to give them whatever they need, and some are more needy than others.
