I love my BTA although it rarely looks like it has bubble tips. The only issue is that it is in the back and I can only admire them if I am standing in front of the tank. If I watch the tank from the couch the BTA is hidden.

I used to keep nems but got tired of them taking walks around the tank for no reason and touching my corals. Personally, I have always been fascinated by Cold Water Aquariums. The cold water varieties of anemones are beautiful, in my opinion; especially the Giant Green Anemones. Are there are users on here that have any Cold Water Tanks?

Cold water nems? Nice but that must be a dedicated tank, right?

I'm really liking some of the crazy tube nems I've seen lately.

In the 80's I kept a temperate tank.

Used to stock the tank myself. Lots of cool looking anemones out there.

A BTA I got from a LFS. It got sucked into a powerhead and was almost dead- they let me have it for free!!

I would love to have an anemone because I think they look amazing but I admit I'm a bit intimidated by them. Like walking into the room to see my pink streak's tail sticking out of one would just not work for me. They are just something I know very little about.

FWIW I find them very easy to care for. On par with LPs really if you understand their requirements for light.
