Let's get a discussion going. What anemone/anemones do you all like the most? I mean I'm kinda partial to the black widow anemones. The pics are my black widow one with orange filter one without

Thank you. How are the rock flower anemones? I heard they are hard to keep

 

[timmyrules]

They aren’t hard to keep at all! I actually think they’re easier than bubble tips!…the only downside I see to them is, they wont host my clownfish…unlike the bubble tips, that are fantastic for my clownfish!

I might have to get one and give it a try then. Everyone i talked to said they are hard to keep so I've always stuck to bubble tips

random question - can you coral dip anemones before placing them in the tank ?

No, the dips are specifically for coral. The nem could ingest it and get sick. What would the dipping be for? It’s not like they are on dirty frag plugs. anemones themselves dont carry pests.

Oh yeah they move everywhere. I have a rose bubble sat in one spot for a year now it decided to move to the back glass and my black widow bubble has moved on the back side of the rock it sat in for a month haha

I'm not really sure. I've seen clown host goni and everything but I never seen the out come of if the coral had died or not

Thats soo annoying as the hammer was doing really well had it for over 4 months and grown from a little frag to 3 heads ..

Hmmm this might speed up my decision to get an anemone
