Anemones Galore

[LiveRock]

Yo reefers..

Got a question to ask:

In your years of experience, what is the smallest, least demanding, PL lights OK, anemone in the hobby today?

I want to try one in my small tank but want to make sure first.

Many thanks!

Apitasia, they don't even need lighting and also multiply really really fast

Mushroom are also anemone. They are less demanding, infact they don't die so easily even if you want them to. <_<

IME,

A small, least demanding, PL lights OK, anemone is not available, besides the pest aiptasia.

They will not remain small for long but expand the biggest they can, grow quickly under ideal situations, they will demand for meaty foods, and if using PL lights, will climb on the highest rock they can find to be right under PL lights (sometimes not where you want them to be).

Not to sound discouraging, they are beautiful but will become a pain in the a$$ over time.

Thanks for all the answers.... just as what I expect

One of the reason I want an anemone is to keep my clown fish occupied so he will not go and disturb the feather duster worms.

Well......

Someday, somehow, somewhere, I will have at least a 4 feet tank ....

Ceriathus anemones need to live in thick layer of mud and fine sand. It does not use light but relies on meaty food.

And also, tube anemone does not go with clowns.. No fish will go near tube anemone. Not even anemone shrimp.. I mean nothing will ever go near a tube anemone..
