Yep, the store also setup my equipment - so they have an good knowledge of the conditions the anemones are going into. I'm inclined to keep the one that's adapted with my clowns, and coax him a little higher up on the rock, and exchange the white one for a bubble tip.

I'm really looking for an anemone that's easy to keep, but also quite colouful - most of the LTA and bubbletip I've seen have been boooooring brown in colour. ;-)

Too bad. I have a purple LTA, a bright light green with neon orange tips BTA, & a couple of RBTAs. Yup, love living in the Lower Mainland.

Default Moved the big guy

Alright, I took your advice and moved the big one with my clowns in it all the way up to the top of the tank with a ton of movement from both returns and a powerhead.

What's the mouth look like on the healthy Mag? Is it gaping? Or closed? If closed, is it tightly closed? If it's nice and puckered up then that's a good sign. The more open it is, the worse. Definitely a wise choice to move it to the top like that. I still suggest finding someone with MH or if the LFS has MH take them back. Either way, they won't last long-term under that lighting .. at least it's my understanding they need nothing but MH or HQI.

I wouldn't add a different species of anemone to a tank that size. You'll run the risk of chemical warfare. I'd be inclined to just return the sick one for a refund or store credit. You never know when a store credit will come in handy.

I actually returned the big one, the sick one I put higher in the tank and it seems to be bouncing back, the clowns are really digging it too.
