Wilkerson's book does focus greatly on breeding and rearing anemonefish but it does have a half-decent section on anemones, and also touches on acceptable/unacceptable anemone surrogates... It's a VERY good book, I totally recommend it, if you have interest in anemonefish and hosting anemones. Too bad we don't live a little closer otherwise I'd offer to lend it out... OTOH it's not all that expensive compared to other books available to us reefers...

Joyce Wilkerson has similar feelings on the topic of anemones in captivity as does Daphne Fautin, although is a little less unforgiving and that seems to come out a little.

The field guide is basically a field guide, and Wilkerson's focus is almost entirely on captive aquaria. So you kind of need both books as they have a little overlap, but together they cover a broader spectrum than either of them does on their own. Just my $0.02 anyways ..... 8)

cheers
