Default Anemone FAQ

Important information abt Anemone.

http://www.carlosreef.com/AnemoneFAQ.pdf

What water conditions do anemones need?

Anemones are shallow water tropical inverts. They require clear, clean water absent of pollutants and high in dissolved oxygen. In general, anemones can be even more demanding in this respect than small-polyped stony corals. Additionally, anemones require moderate indirect water flow. They “breathe” by absorbing oxygen from the water around them, and water flow is required to bring them food and carry away wastes. If anemones are unhappy with their local environment, they will move to find one more suitable. An indication of an unhappy environment is one in which anemones continue to move about the tank – if happy, an anemone will settle down and remain in one place for a long period of time (years).


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.

And a lot more...
