    Can torch coral be with anemone tank and survive with only water changes?

    Can torch coral be with anemone tank and survive with only water changes? I was thinking of putting him in the bottom left of the tank where the zoa frags are because there’s enough flow but is there any way I could get rid of it since my lfs won’t take corals?

I got an anemone after having the tank for 2 months and it was doing real well at first (see first picture). It then moved to a different spot...

    Bought a very large Long Tentacle Anemone about a month ago. It was a cool greenish colour. It is smaller now, or seems a bit smaller and has changed colour. My clowns are hosting (or the anemone is hosting the clowns). Is it going to be okay? I do feed it a couple times a week. Seems to...

    Keeping different BTA anemones in the same tank? What have we learned so far?

    So I’ve read dozens of threads on keeping fancy BTA anemones with other basic BTA. Like Colorado not doing well with any BTA, Chicago being ok with rainbow BTA’s, etc… Some making it work. Others not so much. I just wanted to give my 2cents on this as I did a quick experiment with surprising...

    Anemone Acting Weird

    I have had this bubble tip anemone for over 1.5 years, and it has done excellent, showing lots of growth in that time. The last few days, though, it has been struggling, going through inflation and deflation cycles 2-3 times a day. The times that it is inflated, it isn't fully extended, though...

    anemone tentacles/ID

    I'm not really sure why the "balloons" (#1 image) show up in a couple of my anemones, but in the much larger versions (2# image), the tentacles look very stringy, spaghetti like. Also, could someone ID what type of anemones these are?
