I would be glad to take a look at that pic to ID your anemone. Send it to me at 808-345-1049.

Aloha,

Download the pic to photobucket or something and post from there. It sounds like a long tip anemone maybe...]]> Sun, 12 Jan 2014 22:13:27 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68945&PID=550272&title=anemone-question#550272 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68945&PID=550269&title=anemone-question#550269 Author: LakeCityReefs

Not sure on the type of anemone. I believe its a BTA. It's green with pink tips. When it is all puffed up it goes a sort of tan color. I received it on an eight pound rock and it has stayed on there. It has moved front to back a little bit, but seems to like the rock. I recently moved the rock up 6" and over 10". He's still there and seems to be even happier. I really don't want 2 of the same ones so I was hoping he wouldn't split. I would post a pic but it won't allow me to do it from my phone for some reason. ]]> Sun, 12 Jan 2014 22:03:37 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68945&PID=550269&title=anemone-question#550269 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68945&PID=550258&title=anemone-question#550258 Author: Mark Peterson

Aloha,

What kind of anemone is in your 55?
Even smaller BTA's can split. They often split due to a tank move or a stressful change in tank parameters. If the BTA can be cut in half, split right through the mouth with a sharp razor blade, both halves can recover if tank conditions are very good.

I kind of have to chuckle at your comment about aquascaping. Anemones have minds of their own. They will move until they find a spot that fits their preference. Just make the aquascaping with plenty of space between rocks and create some small caves or overhangs. Use the Tripod Method as discussed here in this Reefkeeping Tip:

It's all depends on the anemone. Mine splits after 5 inches or so. But I've seen the same species grow about 1 ft in diameter ]]> Sun, 12 Jan 2014 18:27:48 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68945&PID=550242&title=anemone-question#550242 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68945&PID=550210&title=anemone-question#550210 Author: ReefdUp

It depends on species more than anything...

I know Haddoni anemones can reach 3' in diameter. Other than that...I don't know.]]> Sun, 12 Jan 2014 12:51:22 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68945&PID=550210&title=anemone-question#550210 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68945&PID=550208&title=anemone-question#550208 Author: LakeCityReefs

What is the largest size for a captive anemone? I understand it may vary in aquarium size. I am wondering so that I can plan my Aquascape accordingly.
What size so they have to be before they will split, and what causes them to split?
I currently have an anemone in a 55 that is approx 12" in diameter including tentacles.
