I know this is weird to ask

[mark vincent muriel]

but is aiptasia the easiest anemone to take care of..? and if i put it in a jar with just an aeration would it survive...?

 

[James M]

yes it’s the easiest and it would possibly survive in the jar they seem life proof

amazing am i the only one that appreciate this specimen ... do they need water flow i mean the aeration could probably make alittle water flow

 

[James M]

I don’t know anyone who likes them . I think the big reason no one likes them is because the have tendency to take over the tank and kill coral . I think you should be good with the air pump

I've seen some tanks with a heavy growth of aiptasia and they did have some "charm." Of course, I was very glad they couldn't climb out! Seem to be very hardy and adapt to a wide range of conditions.

thank you guys i would make an aiptasia only jar i would treat it like a carnivorous plant xD

the only problem is i dont have aiptasia on my tank yet.. where can i get one..? or will the aiptasia will magically appear on my tank... should i just wait..?

 

[James M]

Go to the lfs and see if they have aptasia . It might be awhile till you find it in your DT

Check a lfs. Most by me have them in their tanks.

They might just give it to you. Or buy a small piece of rock with one on it.

i would when i have all the materials im also thinking of putting asterina on there and marine moss balls, the jar would be small and probably a battery powered air pump as well and small live rock is it possible to put majano on it or the aiptasia would kill it.. also ball anemone

that’s exactly what im trying to do... except with aeration well i guess i wont need air pump at all seeing theirs keep them on the jar with just an algae and a live rock

I have a few growing in a jar with natural sunlight and a bubbler. Great thing to show my Bio class!

I thought we recently had a pest coral tank build, or I am I having deja vu all over again?

Get a curlique anemone. Aptasia is super easy yes but will congregate the jar in a short time
