Thanks Man, And I suggest those ppl who just started reefing to buy Anemone Corals,

sounds like LFS advice.

I would suggest reading a little more on what requirements are needed first before making that purchase.

Clowns do not need anemones to survive and vice versa.They are not toys.

Anemones are NOT for beginners as they often fail to realise that anemones are not entirely reefsafe in the risky sense that they move around a lot, get chopped up by unprotected powerheads and crash the whole tank, may eat up their fishes, sting other corals and that they require strong lighting.

Please do not give advice if you are a newbie so as to prevent the scenario where blind leads the blind. Thank you for your co-operation.

Agree with AT.

Anemones need strong light and cool water.

So expensive light and chiller, a newbie will not find the necessary to buy..

Anemones & clown maybe the cheapest combination to start in a 2ft tank.. just spend $10 every week, buy some seawater and u get a new anemone and 2 clown fish every week.. Maybe that's to warm up first. Also good, a trial before a newbie dive into this expensive hobby.

Giritharan, dont "sar bo" newbie.

By the way, why used such a big picture for ur signature.. showing off what?

AT's right.

Anemones like to move around until they find a suitable place. Mine moved until it got stuck at the powerhead. Result was a mess.
