So…
My wife is a lover of expensive anemones. She belongs to some group on the Facebook that specializes in the trade and showing off of them.
She has asked to purchase a “chicago” or “Colorado Sunburst.” She is currently trying to decide between the 2. The anemones in question have been domesticated for several generations and have providence.
I have 2 well established tanks (about 3 years and 2 years old now). One is an anemone tank with maxi/mini, rockflowers, and a bubbletip. The other is a larger tank with mixed corals and several bubble tips. I have had the bubble tips for years.
She insists that there have been posts indicating that “generic” rainbow anemones have a “virus” that kills these expensive bubble tips. I tend to think that sounds like pseudoscience at best and more likely someone’s rationalization on why they just lost $900.
I don’t gamble money I can’t lose and I don’t buy fish or corals as investments. They are pets to me and so I treat them as such. I don’t look at my tank and add up dollars.
sorry for the little rant. Back on topic: Does anyone keep these anemones with other color variants and can anyone speak about any issues they have had?
I have kept orange, rainbow, and black widows together for a long time and I’m not seeing any issue here.
