No worries. I appreciate the advice from all of you. My main concern now is just takin care of this nem and keepin it healthy

I am one of the people that suggest not feeding silversides. I have been (( successfully )) keeping hosting anemones for 20+ years (( had one S. haddoni in my care for 15 years )).

Even though certain people won't believe it, I did lose an otherwise healthy H. malu to one. Know another experienced anemone keeper that had the same issue.

BTW --- an E. quadricolor does not anything close to a silverside in the wild. Something about the size of mysis is about as large as it will get. In addition, for an already stressed anemone, the smaller the piece of food the easier it will be for the anemone to digest it.


What size tank do you have?
What lights do you have?

20 long or high?

Is it a quad PC bulb set up? Most of the 96 watt PC bulbs that I am familiar with are 36 inches long.

The tank is longer than it is taller. 24 inches wide and a 24 inch 96 watt PC setup. Basically light from end to end
