'Sorry, but the maximum filesize for all Attachments is reached. Please contact the Board Administrator if you have questions'
its green with little noberly bits looks like a scrumpled up piece of cloth?
think maybe a carpet anemone... its quite big and a crab lives in it too.
i bought it for my clowns (as i saw a clown living in it in the shop) but they wont even touch it (prob cos of the crab! :badgrin:

if you would go into your profile and go to your attachments you could delete some of your old photo's and then you could post a picture of your Anemone. but from what you've decribled it could be a Carpet Anemone.
Clownfish that will usually host in an Haddon's Anemone is. Barrier Reef Clownfish,Mauritian clownfish,Orange-fin clownfish, Clark's, Saddlebacks, sebae's, Allard's, Ocellaris and percula.

yeah that looks like a green carpet to me,
for one they,like high lighting. good water flow , and will eat krill,whole shrimp, fresh tuna ,fresh cod and perch. and at night with feed on zooplankton.
and will ocassionaly, eat tank mates like prized shrimp, favorite fish. I've even seen the one I had try and eat my hermit,,,,,lol.
if you have good lighting I would only feed it once or twice a week.

:badgrin: Yes, they aren't very particular as to what wanders into their territory are they!

Keep in mind that carpets get really big - close to 2' in diameter and are difficult to keep.

the crab won't deter the clowns from hosting in it. It's a perfectly normal occurence in the wild. It may just take some time for the clowns to accept it as their host.

put a picture of clowns in a similar anenome on the glass and 20 bucks says they will be in it in under an hour :)

:lol:

dead serious saw it on reefs.org and on aquaria central

Yeah I've heard it to. and it was just buy chance it happened that's all.
I had a back ground on my 55 gal I had years ago. that had corals and a big Ritteri and a clownfish picture in it and I had it next to my ritteri it looked like I had 2 in the tank. and for 3 month's my perc's hosted in my xenia. I had , and when I got rid of the xenia 2 weeks later the perc's went into the ritteri, and the ritteri was in the tank before the xenia.
the perc's tryed to host the ritteri but it took to long for the 2 to bond, and the perc's just found it easier to host in the xenia.

cool thanks all :)
im gonna try they pic thing! :thinkhard:
My lighting is 2 150w MH for my 58 gal tank, is that enough to stop feeding it every day?

[FishinInTheDark]

It should be getting plenty of light to stop daily feedings. As Jim said, once or twice a week should be plenty. You should probably stay on the lower end of the feeding scale to keep if from growing any faster. It will be a very short time before it completely fills the tank! :eek2:

[khrone]

thanks didn't realise i was feeding it too much! im gonna cut it back to once a week.
thanks again :)
