    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I had this one for a year in a 20 gallon with no other fish besides 2 clowns and a yellow tail damsel. The yellow tail spent a lot of time hovering under the anemone, almost like the anemone was a host.

    That is an awesome carpet coralline. Do you still have that carpet now? or did you move it on?

    It got too big and my other tanks had gobies in them so I just would not risk it with a goby.

    I do love anemones though, just have to make a choice in small tanks, anemones vs, sps and gobies. :-(

    Great anemones though and my clowns always accepted it after they acclimated to it. That is a baby clown in the picture.

    Feed every two weeks meaty sea foods.
