    To 3Reef!!!


    Salutations! Glad to see you found way here! ;D
    Very pretty creature you have there. Most anemones have little chance of surviving unless is a fairly mature tank with excellent water conditions. Yours looks kind of lonely in there.
    Need to find some clowns that will host and take care of it. (need to be sure what kind it is before getting fish)
    Good Luck.!

    Too sad. :(

    BTA's are much more hardy. But even they are hard to keep alive in a tank that is still working towards maturity. ~ 1 year old - maybe longer.

    Thanks for everyone's help. Right now she is doing great, she hooked up on a rock right in the front, perfect for viewing! But our Tomato Clownfish doesn't want anything to do with her yet (we're hoping!).. we'll see!
