I want to buy an anenome

Make sure to find a captive cloned anemone and not wild caught. They will have a much greater chance of survival. Also look at waiting for about a year to have a mature enough tank to support one.

I think that BTA's are being cloned now.

The major trick is fidning a healthy one. Hoepfully you will be able to have access to a good store where you can observe a speciment for awhile prior to buying it. Make sure it is healthy and vibrant in colour and eating.

If you plan on having clown fish host with it then I would suggest doing some research into which types of clowns host with which types of anemones.

when you do get it aclimate them in slow.. and hold him down to where you want him to stick... if the spot is good then hell stay .. if not hell move .. and feed him once a week depending on size..

Its nearly useless to "put him where you want him" because the anemone will move around until it finds a spot that it likes. Maybe you will get lucky and where you set it is where it will stay, but probably not.

As far as type, I would recommend a bubble tip anemone, or BTA. Thus far, mine has been easy to care for, other than having to move corals that it is stinging while it "takes walks". I have 2 percula clowns that are hosting in it. It took them 2 days to find the anemone and now they hardly ever leave it.

Good luck.

what do you feed them?

i dont recommend feeding them a lot mine almost never gets chunk food anymore the tomato clown feeds it mysis and brine and the halide does the rest through photosynthesis. bubble tips are great and are super hardy. and id have to disagree about waiting a year. if you know ur stuff and take good care you can put it in after a few months also let it be the first coral due to the wandering so it finds its spot and you can place corals around it. i got my anenome about a month after setting up my aquarium and its not only done well but split and i got rid of it and kept the clone because it grew to fast because i used to feed it weekly. but if your new to the hobby take it slow and then maybe a year would be appropriate it really depends on the person i have tossed anemonies into tanks without acclimation(emergency happened had no choice but to) at work and they wern't happy but recovered because the water quality was awesome.... they are hardy if the tank is properly maintained.
