These things are super easy for me. I kept them for over a year using tap water to mix my salt and they didn’t miss a beat. Way easier than stony corals, I think it’s a complete myth that they need “pristine” water but it makes sense to me to only put them in an established tank that has fully cycled. That said, the biggest concern with them is how mobile they are. My tank relies on the return only for flow which minimises the risk of them getting stuck anywhere they’re not supposed to, but I have an anemone guard on my overflow which should stop them from ever blocking it. I’ve noticed some varieties are much more restless than others - I had a green one that would move around DAILY, but my red ones stay put unless I interfere with the rockscape.
Good sharing, thanks. I am new to this hobby.. like coral dipping, can we or should we dip anemones too? Any recommendations or best practices? Thanks.
I see that you are a man of conscious and it troubled you that you may have hurt the anemone division. I'm guessing that is a trait that many keeper's of these beautiful, delicate creatures.share? Thanks for the information, and experience, shown in the video.
I have a new rainbow bubble tip anemone. And my nitrite and nitrate are kinda high. You think this will kill them, I done research but no one really have said if they will live… I’m adding microalgea to lower it
I just brought one of these guys home and I'm nervous/afraid its gonna move into my power head. I did cut up some sponge filters and glued them around the power head just in case it decided to live life on the edge. As far as it getting into the over flow chamber im still working on that. So far its staying where I put it. Been bout 3 hrs now and it hasn't moved
Great content I’m a huge fan ohh and also I like the mountain bike outros as well that you did recently! Keep up the great work you really motivate me brotha!!!!
I got my anemone 1 week after setting my tank up. It’s now been 4 weeks since and it’s grown and getting color. Why do we need to to wait? I used live rock actual live rock from an aquarium and used live sand . I got ammonia spike the first few days to a week then it started to settle. After 2 weeks my ammonia went to 0 and it’s been there since. Now I’ve added 4 more fish and they are doing fine.
@@alexafa316 it’s quite possible, but it requires loads of maintenance. Parameters have to be stable as heck and if your tank hasn’t been fully cycled, you’ll probably have to do weekly checks, water changes, and dosing beneficial bacteria. I don’t really recommend doing it as it can be a huge pain in the butt and it isn’t fun. Experienced reefers have a higher chance of success than novice.
I have an anemone RBT that lost its tentacles, became just a blob (a foot and mouth) and moves around the tank. Is this normal? Is it dying or something else? Will the tentacles grow back? It isn’t that the tentacles are retracted, it just seems to have none. It self split on its own nearly two months ago. Never fragged.
Old video I know but would you recommend me grabbing one at petco I’ve had my tank up for about 2years and have a mini maxi for about a year that’s doing good is that a good sign as far as my tank being suitable for a bta
Masage the foot or change the current has worked for myself. Also I heard of cold water with serange. I also feel bad and get worried when thinking of cutting them.
Ok so, my pretty new bubble tip, has been upside down alot. It sticks to the glass, substrate and liverock fine, but everywhere it goes it hangs upside down. Also it seems some of its sticky, slimy substance seems to be hanging off. Any clues?
G LaP Hey what’s sup! Yeah it seems that it’s picking it’s spot. Did you mess with the flow or lighting? Well you did say you just got it, so let it find it’s new spot. Just look after the corals that it might be touching they will start to die if it keeps stinging them. Keep an eye on the new Nem. Is your tank older than 6 months? I recommend Nems be introduced in a 6+ month tank to support Nems. Don’t let them die in your tank they make a mess and smell terrible
@@915Mang gotcha, the tank is probably about 4 or 5 months now, but i took extra steps to make sure the tank was clean and well tested as well as having established micro life, and i have the correct food and lighting for him, i have many LPS and soft corals surviving in the same tank, and the coral is moving and changing form as well as opening and closing its mouth seemingly fine, im just wondering why it prefers to be upside down? As for the flow i actually lowered it as the anenome was trying to stuff itself under tje liverock seeming to try to escape it, ill see how it goes for now and continue feeding reefroids and frozen foods when itll accept em, any clue what the weird slime coming off its foot is?
Hey I’m having an issue with my anemones. I have two and sometimes I try feeding them and don’t eat. And I did get them on a decent size but they are getting small..

Do not dip nems

Cool vid. I never spit an anemones. I can usually get my finger under the nem to get them off the rock.
Ive tried that too. Kinda difficult so I like the sea squirt
how do you get them off the rocks, or whatever they are attached to ?
That tank is so cool.
Thank You 🙏

How many hours of white light do they need per day?

Hey JTone! Thank You, I gotta get some mtb video going for you then:)
Love the tank what were you dosing in there ?

1 week?
U must be trolling..

Same I got my anemone 1 month after getting my tank and they growing big and healthy
Definitely doable :,)

Id have to see it. Doesnt sound normal, And I would have to see your tank flow and lighting. Every tank is different
ATF intheHouse it’s starving
Old video I know but would you recommend me grabbing one at petco I’ve had my tank up for about 2years and have a mini maxi for about a year that’s doing good is that a good sign as far as my tank being suitable for a bta
Im sure everything went fine, sorry for the late reply
Nice info

Thanks Mark
Dude I wish I could get a anemone like that it’s so pretty
Thanks 2020
Mine turned white, how come
Just an observation, but does everyone pronounce Anemone as “Anenemy”? I hear it way too often..🤨
Would you recommend to quarantine it.
If you can QT, then i always recommend that, i just never do it
dose green bubble tip nem like only blue color leds? cuz my GBT hiding behind rocks( for last 3 weeks with no food
Yes they do, they need high light too
I'm currently building a separate tank from my reef just for anemones. They don't do good in my sps tank and I want 1 of each type of bta's
Cochise Star they will compete with each other btw. My roses took over and killed my green ones.

How many gallons is your tank?
150g
Hey I’m having an issue with my anemones. I have two and sometimes I try feeding them and don’t eat. And I did get them on a decent size but they are getting small..
Hey Rene, you don’t have to feed them all the time. I actually don’t, every now and then is fine. Feed Krill, not silver sides
915Mang okay thank you! And one last thing is why they go upside down...
Rene Aguas That’s it’s spot, they will move around if you change the lights or flow.
Anemone care?
One thing with nems... they smell bad and make your fingered smell bad😂
How is not stinging your hand.
I never got stung.
ANEMONE not A-N-E-N-O-ME
😂
