Anenome question

[imdaring]

What do you know about a ritteri Anenome? I might get one but I can't find any info on them?

 

[Brat]

The Ritteri or Magnificent Anemone is a very difficult one to keep and it gets to a little over a foot long. It's a beautiful anemone it's just not easy to keep.

daring how old is your tank and what kinda lights are you running

 

[imdaring]

I have had a saltwater fish only tank for about 4 years but started a reef/fish about a year.. And my lighting is new they are 5T 65 wt day lights X2 = 130wt,& 65Wt actinic = 130wt

I already have anenome's in my tank they are doing GREAT:D I have 2 bubble tip and 1 wart anenome..

 

[dustin_P74]

well then i think youll be fine with this nem. but i am concerned about the powder blue tang in your 55

Thats a pretty anemone.
But I've come to the conclusion that anemones shouldnt be in a reef tank with corals.
I just sold my BTA because it killed 4 colonies of SPS.

what about the Tang ?? shouldn't they be with a anenome?

 

[dustin_P74]

a 55 is very small for a powder blue tang

dustin I just took notice to the quote u have as your signature LOL funny

 

[dustin_P74]

i thought the same thing

 

[yote]

what about the Tang ?? shouldn't they be with a anenome?

No fish HAS to be kept with an anemone.Not even clownfish.
And a powder blue is eventually going to out grow a 55.

 

[imdaring]

how big do they get??

 

[dustin_P74]

in the wild about 3 feet in diameter, in aquariums they usually max at about 1 and a half- 2 feet in diameter
