quarantining anemone

[ngarcia11892]

so im havign a fallow period and wanted to purchase a rbta relativly soon so that way when my fallow period is over i can add it too. my question was if i got a specimen container and put it on the side of my tank with my halides would that work to quarintine? im not able to set up a second quarintine with the lighting needed for a rta thanks

Agreed no need to QT an anemone.

but iv read that they can carry the ick parasite on them?

Not true, the stinging cells of the anemone will kill the ich off from what I know. Im pretty sure that is false, I dont think ich can attach itself to a anemone, nor would the amone host anything like that...

oh good to hear, i didnt mean ich hosting it just like the cyst or something coming on it or something, but ill take yalls word for it thanks

Agreed no need to QT an anemone.

Do you believe this to be true with all anemones? Or just BTA's in this instance?

I will never not qt a new magnifica anemone. But more easier anemones are fine not to qt.
