Terryz_ Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Any tips on keeping this tube anemone? Are these in your tank. They looked awfully familiar.. just feed bits of prawns every week.. they are non photosynthetic.. so required feeding.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udayavani Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 hi bro i like share my experience if u have small fishes tube anemone can sting and eat them i used to have few grew quite big they do sting other corals and can release stinging cells in water when stressed which can irriate corals , tube anemones are not from reef itself they live mostly in mangroves , they are beautiful but may not be for reef tanks . just my 2 cents Quote My old tankMY reef my world 20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. udaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Rxcp14 Posted December 12, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hmmm they are pretty much easy to care for with the required feedings and prefered substrate... all corals do have its own warfare but this is less harmful as compared to other anemones... proper husbandry and carbon will help to lessen chemical warfare...

yellowtang Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 i have kept 2 for years in my mixed reef tank . Never deliberate feed them. They are still healthy and size remain the same as first bought them. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member peacemaker Posted December 14, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted December 14, 2011 IME, mine moved from the rock I placed it on to the sand bed and stayed there for months even till now. My small fishes (Eviota) hangs around but no harm done thus far (keeping my fingers crossed). Marine hobby is a strange world. There is a certain level of un-predictability .

nanos Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I got a pink one over a year and my tank is mixed reef. But you definitely need to keep a safe distance with other corals and it will move till it find the right location. I have small fishes and there is no issue. Just blast out or target feed when you feel like it, once a week with some mysid or henry gourmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
