"Anemones list and Information"

[sprinklerdudes]

it eats a little every day when I feed the other fish and corals, and I direct feed it a big piece of shrimp or crab meat about two - three times a week

 

[clowns101]

You can feed it once a week or even less!I dont feed my RBTA's anemones but once a week and thats to induce splitting!

 

[sprinklerdudes]

ok, I will cut back on the feeding. do these type anemones sting, harm people?

 

[clowns101]

All anemones sting.I havent even been hurt by one of them,I dont even feel the sting!BUT to some people the sting is much worse and caution should always be used when feeding these animals.

 

[sprinklerdudes]

much thanks, i have been feeding him with a long pair of forcheps

 

[clowns101]

To be honest I feed my by hand and by a turkey baster!When I feed by hand I try my best not to touch the tentecals because I dont want to have any problems!

Hey Auston,
Thanks for doing this write up. Well done.
While in a fish store one day I saw what they were calling a sea snake anemone. Strange looking. I wanted to find some pics of it online and came across this page. I thought I would post a link. It shows many different types of nems and gives the scientific names.

Austin,

I've never owned a LTA and would like to get a purple one for my new nano. I have a JBJ 28g with the 105w CF light. Is this enough light for a LTA?

 

[clowns101]

They can be kept under CF's but I havent done it yet with an LTA thats purple in color.My concern would be lost in color as purple is a hard color to keep in a reef tank IME with CF's.I would try it,I would say it could work if you feed it like you should.

But up to you!

Thanks! I will post if I decide to try one and document how it does. :)

 

[clowns101]

Great,I hope it works if you try.I would try it,but I worrie it would be like trying to keep a Purple Cap really deep Purple under CF's.but I think with feeding it should be alright.

I need guidance with my BTA. I got it about 7 months ago and it was 3" across. It's foot was very dark red/brownish. He ate very well and was doing good. Long beautiful tenticals. I changed my T5's out one set a week (three sets of two). It moved from the top of the tank down to the middle into the shade and stayed there for two weeks. Then he was floating on the bottom. I scooped him up with a bowl and gently laid him in between two rocks toward the top until he took hold. He is still in that spot, but he will not eat and he is shrinking. His color is good, but he has been shrinking since he moved down to the middle of the tank. He stays mostly closed, but when he opens, he is only 1 1/2" across. From what I know, it sounds like he is dying. Is there any reason he could be acting like this? Does anyone have any ideas that I could try?
