Need help picking an anenome

hankblas · 10-17-2006, 09:57 PM

Hi, I have a 40gal tank with LR, some hermit crabs, snails, a damsel and a clownfish. I wanted to know what the best type of anenome is to get. I plan on getting more clown fish only and maybe some coral i have PC lights.

Thanks

How many watts of pc lighting have you got? What kind of clownfish have you got? How long has the tank been set up for?

Dito

Most anenomes require more intense lighting. Some will argue but IMHO Anenomes need Metal Halide lighting.

It is also important you understand that Saltwater fish will have compatibility issues if not chosen well. 2 clowns of the same type can be housed in a 40G tank. They will eventually mate.
Adding 3 or 2 of different types and you could end up with fish fights resulting in deaths
