markdadof2 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Here is the latest picture of my nano tank. I purchased the anemone about 3 days ago and tonight he ate a chunk of shrimp. My ONLY concern is with lighting as I do not yet have my halide lights (just pc's right now). I WAS told that this specific anemone can do fine in lower lighting conditions. I don't remember the full name of this anemone but I was told it was a 'long tenticle'. thanks everyone for your advice so far. -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralreefaquarist Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 i want that anemone(sad). beautiful(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocboat Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 That sure looks like a H. magnifica. If it is, it definitely is not a low light anemone and it gets huge. Maybe Jordan (Ron Popeil on the board) will chime in with an opinion. Where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Popeil Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 definitely not the tentacle structure of an m.doreensis. ill agree with dave on it actually being an h. magnifica. how big is your tank? do you have any other shots of your system?

180Brandy Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Looking pretty good. (clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 X3 Magnifica. Has it moved yet? Unless you're planning a dedicated species tank specifically for the anemone, I'd consider taking it back. They get rather large, need strong MH, and strong flow. That's good that it is eating. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 It's a shame whoever told you it could handle lower lighting sold it to you. :( Good job to you for asking about it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 So far he is doing fine. Still eating and he has not moved yet (well, maybe about an inch). I plan on upgrading to halides soon, but at the first sign of sickness he WILL go back and I will make sure to get my $$ back. thanks for the advice everyone! Is there an anemone that will take the lower light that the clown would like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
