Anemone
Hey does anyone know of a type of anemone that will play host to my clowns without taking over my 34 gallon tank?

If you can sustain a nem my vote would also go for bubbletip.

Any certain species of bubble tip?
Ya the light thing may be an issue here are my tank specs to the best i could find them. Its a red sea max my first attempt at a salt water tank. its now 6 monthes old. 7 fish and too many inverts to list. - 2x55 watt t5power compacts (1 watt/ltr) - 10,000K /Actinic Lighting - Ellectronic Ballast - Hight Polish, Textured Aluminum Reflector - Blue LED moonLights - Fan Cooled Thats all the info i could find on the tank. even on REDSEAMAX.com i have been told it is decent enough for anemones but have lost 2. never supplimented them. i am now adding iron calcium and strontium for the bubble and torch corals now. also feeding cyclopese 2 a week.

Speaking from experience i wouldnt put a nem in that aquarium... not so much the growth but the movement, mine moved every few weeks until i got MH lighting over it. And when it does move you have to relocate your other corals or else they get stung. Add to that the fact it will likely take up residence where you cant see it 90% of the time. I would definately recommend somethign else for your clowns to host. One of my clowns prefers a candy cane coral to host over the nem. They arent picky, below is a link to probably the best alternative to an anemone though...

I had one in a 75 gal and problems I had (in order of concern)were size, splitting and moving. If it didn't split it was stinging other corals or it would start to split and the little clones would move around. I started pulling them out and put them into there own 20 gal with a couple Darwin Clowns. I think there are 10 in there now, they mostly stay clumped together.
I've got a 65 watt 50/50 pc and only feed the clowns.
