EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I really loved the color of this anemone, and I was wondering if anyone would have any info on it? Its name is in the picture, but wondering if it’s possible to put in a reef tank, and where I could get one. Quote Link to comment

They are a cold water species, requiring water below 70 degrees and therefor requiring a dedicated cold-water reef. I have not seem any for sale, but here is a site with more information: http://animal-world.com/Aquarium-Coral-Reefs/Beadlet-Anemone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlet_anemone I would suggest a rose bubble tip anemone instead 1 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 They are cold water nems though I believe a supplier breeds them at tropical temps. My LFS actually has some... oddly... if they wern't asking 60 each I would have bought them for my tank. Trying to remember the name of the supplier.... 13 minutes ago, EthanPhillyCheesesteak said: I already have a BTA, but a rose one would be nice, I just really liked the beadlet nem, if I ever dedicate a tank to colder water, I know what I’m getting.

Found it... Reef Gen breeds them for reef tanks and you have to have a LFS order from them as they are a wholesaler. https://www.reefgen.us/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=244 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 But the water temp has to be in the 60s or 70s tho right? Quote Link to comment

I don't think they breed them in any special conditions, maybe contact ReefGen? There are many subtropic/temperate fish and snails that are bred/sold in reef environments so its fairly believable they have a strain adapted to it. Quote Link to comment
