Am I ready for an anemone yet?

[WindowMaker]

Well, I was at my LFS today and the owner made me an offer I couldnt refuse for a rosy BTA. It had about a 1" foot in his tank that was lit by two flourescent tubes. ( he has had it for over a month). I just placed it in the tank and is already near double the size as in his tank. I take it that its happy with that for now.

Thanks for all the positive help.

That's great! Post a pic when you can!

Bad pic, but here it is. Its glowing a nice shade of neon pink right now.

Oh it's cute! It probably won't eat right away, prob give a week or so before you try feeding.

Sounds good, I fed the other fish mysis this evening and it didnt seem to show any interest. It was still trying to get into position at that point. I notice now that the lights are off that it is on the move again.

Update a couple days later: Nem seems very happy, bright red now and nearly double the size he was in the store tank. It seems to have settled top and center of the tank, just where I wanted it. Also noticed that the rock he came with seems to be covered in brown and green button polyps, they were all closed up in the store so I never noticed. Now theyre wide open. Im happy to have the addition in my barren tank. Ill try feeding it tomorrow and see the results. So far the clowns have shown no interest.

I had a tiny green BTA given to me a few months ago, it has now split into 5 of them and my clowns won't go near any of them. The clowns are captive bred, I don't know if they have a hosting instinct built into them or not.
