MarineManiac Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 just for starters If you are considering keeping anemones, please make an educated and responsible decision about purchasing them. They are not easy to keep, and are considered moderately to extremely difficult invertebrates to maintain in captive systems for long periods of time. All hosting anemones require established and stable tanks. Some require larger systems. Start by reading as much as possible about the care and requirements of anemones What light conditions do anemones need? Anemones are shallow water, photosynthetic tropical inverts. They all require bright lighting in order to thrive. A few species (E. quadricolor and S. haddoni) will thrive under bright VHO fluorescent lighting, but for the most part all other species require very bright lighting that includes metal halides. Color You should know the natural coloration of the species of anemone you are interested in. Look for an anemone that is vibrantly colored, not faded or pale. Make sure it is not dyed or “bleached”; both conditions are often deadly for the anemone and will require specialized care to fix. Healthy clown anemones are all photosynthetic creatures, and zooxanthellae is brown in color, so there is no such thing as a healthy white anemone. The absence of zooxanthellae is called bleaching, and can be caused by stress to the anemone, or lack of suitable lighting. Bleached anemones exhibit whitish translucent tentacles and often hide from light. A bleached anemone will require specialized care until it can grow its zooxanthellae back – a process which will take 3 months or longer even in the best conditions. Link to comment
