Anemone Life Span in Aquariums

[Grad]

This Sebae anemone with the clown peeking out of it is now 19 years old. I purchased it in 1990 from Payless Aquarium Supply here in Phoenix which was later bought out by Petco.

 

 

I've had the RBTA in this pic 6 years.

 

 

I never spot feed them the clowns take care of that. They both stay put right where you see them, evidently they are content with the flow and lighting as well as attention they receive from their hosting clowns.

 

 

If that anem is 19 yrs old, its likely a H. maul (leather anem) rather than a H. crispa (sebae), either way awesome husbandry to keep the guy healthy, it looks happy great job!
