learning about sand anemones

Post by finley9 »

Hey there,

1. I'm really struggling to visualize what a SAND ANEMONE looks like - can someone please share a pic or describe it to me?

2. How's their care level? Are they pretty easy to maintain and do they add a nice touch to the setup?

Thanks so much, looking forward to hearing back from you!!!

Google's got loads of pics of sand anemones, just type it in and you'll see heaps of 'em. They're pretty easy to care for, just make sure you've got the right setup and they'll thrive.

Hi Finley9, I've been reading through your threads and I don't think you've done enough research on sand anemones. They're nice but you wouldn't be able to add one for a year plus. Tangs need a big tank, at least 4ft, and your damsel will take time to settle and acclimate to your tank.

Maybe try frozen brineshrimp for your tank stocking. I'd recommend starting with a few hardy fish like 2 clowns, 1 firefish, 1 cherub angel, and a fairy wrasse. For inverts, consider a conch or a few snails. Get a good book and research your fish, it's key. Remember, 1 fish every 3-6 weeks minimum, don't add so many fish at one time.

Tell me about your tank setup, what equipment you have, your water params, etc. I'd be happy to help you out.
