Posted	pink tipped anenomone
20-02-2006 22:58 by luke	hi. i want to keep pink tipped annenomes and soft corals what are thge requirements for keepin these i.e lighting,water parmaeters etc
20-02-2006 22:58 by luke	here it is
21-02-2006 08:33 by Alan	Bright lighting metal halides. Water quality is also vital with anemonies and a stable environment I would go down the eco system method with live rock in the main tank and a miracle mud filter.
21-02-2006 09:38 by yanton	luke, if you can find an anenome like that ... gorgeous. does your local retailer have them?
21-02-2006 16:11 by luke	yeah they do stock them and they do not have them under metal halides, i need more info on the requirements for these
21-02-2006 18:26 by johnlakehouse	clowns will not use this anemone as a host BE WARNED if that is what you are attempting to do
21-02-2006 18:31 by luke	no i dont attemp tp do that with this anenemone i just think its gorgeous, what would be a good anenemone to use as a host anenemone just as a query
21-02-2006 19:08 by BradsDad	Hi Luke, if you're tank has only been setup for 2 months you might want to wait a while before your first nem.
21-02-2006 19:55 by luke	yeah i am going to wait i want to get my tank ready thats why im inquiring about it
21-02-2006 22:19 by laura	Just to throw a big big spanner in the works, I own the same anenome. My lighting is rubbish in fact I am just saving up for some new T8's. Literally, one actinic, 1 daylight. My little anenome is thriving and another little fly in the ointment.......I have two percula clowns hosting in it!!!!! Maybe I am an odball!!
21-02-2006 23:08 by niac	Well this is controversial isn't it lol. Anemones under t8's, how long has it been there? Sure is an anemone? A note on clownfish hosting, clownfish may host in a number of things, i have seen then in mushroom corals, xenia, eyuphilla, and even trying out a plastic one lol. There stupid, they can get freeked out by lights going on and off, and dive stright into the mouth of the anemone lol. Hope this helps and by the way laura i think you should update to at least 2 t5s.
21-02-2006 23:26 by laura	Hey there! I am positive it is an anenome lol. I also have another one in the tank. They have both been there for about 8 months and are doing brilliantly. When I win the lottery I will have to upgrade my dated system. But for now it seems to be doing well
07-03-2006 18:13 by gavster	i also have pinnk tipped living under t8s with clowns living in it
20-04-2006 09:40 by gavster	pink tipped
20-04-2006 10:39 by Alan	Depth is the key to lighting requirements really T8's generally don't give the necessary light penetration in deep tanks those that are keeping these under T8's I would be interested to know all of your water parameters as well as the number of T8's and the depth below the surface that the nems are residing in the husbandary of nems is still relatively unknown believe it or not. Also do you feed them and if so what?
21-04-2006 12:35 by gavster	the nem is sitting 2 foot under the lights there is only 2 tubes white & blue ,but i have just changed them yeterday for 2 t6 bulbs which are supposed to be 40% brighter than the t8 bulbs .but i do hand feed the nem once a week with frozen prawns
