White Carpet Anemone
Stichodactyla
sp.
Description: Carpet anemones have short pointed tentacles
that seem to constantly move. The tentacles are usually not very
densely packed except near the edges of the disk. Specimens with
blue, bright green, yellow, or white tipped tentacles can be
found and at some times of the year, but light brown is still
the most common color. Carpet anemone's have strong lighting
needs. Make sure the tank has Powercompacts, VHO's or Halides
for success. They also require good water quality and moderate
water flow. They are accepted by virtually all clownfish whether
they occur together in nature or not.
Requirements: The Carpet Anemone requires a tank with
strong lighting and good water movement. The aquarium should
have a variety of sandy and rocky locations as this animal oftentimes
can move about and seek refuge in a place it prefers. This species
of Carpet Anemone prefers to bury its foot into the sandy bottom,
and will oftentimes attach itself to the bottom of the aquarium
glass, where its column is completely buried in the sand for
protection. When first introducing this anemone into the display,
it is best to try and dig out an area of the sand bed where you
prefer it will reside, while decreasing the flow rate during
this time so that its not blown around the display. Doing so
will allow the anemone time to settle in and bury its foot completely
into the sand bed. Once in place, carefully move some sandy substrate
around the column and increase the flow rate back to the normal
output.
Care: Although one of the easiest “Carpet
Anemones” to care for this animal is still challenging,
and is best left to the seasoned veteran aquarists. For proper
care, a fully established aquarium, with perfect water chemistry,
adequate flow and strong illumination, along with weekly or even
daily feeding is needed. Ideal foods consist of chunks of fresh
fish, uncooked shrimp, and other meaty marine foods.

tentacles with a very potent sting, and can be distinguished
from their close relatives Stichodactyla gigantea and Stichodactyla
mertensii by the lack of any coloration, spots or markings on
the underside of the anemone and down its column. This anemone
serves as a "host" for many types of Clownfish in the
wild including: Amphiprion clarkii, A. sebae, A. akindynos, A.
chrysogaster, A. chrysopterus, and A. polymnus. In the home aquarium,
they can also serve as host for Amphiprion ocellaris, A. percula,

Curly-Que Anemone
Bartholomea annulata
Description:The Curly-Que or Glass Anemone has very
interesting appearances and can make interesting captives. They
are generally not considered to be reef safe, because they may
sting fish and other invertebrates. The Curly Que Anemone may
be a translucent shade of brown, blue, or gray. Its long, thin
tentacles are curled at the tips, hence, its name. They are often
striped with a number of swollen white bands located inside the
tentacles. At full length, most Curly Que Anemones are 4 to 7
inches in diameter including tentacles.Relatively Easy to care
for,

Indonesia Rose
Bulb Anemone
Entacmaea quadricolor
sp.
Description:Highly in demand and
often hard to find, the Rose
Bulb Anemone is the less seen color variation of the Bubble Tip
Anemone. When housed beneath bright aquarium lighting, the Rose
Bulb Anemone develops a unique bulb tip at the end of its tentacles,
hence the name Bulb Anemone. When hungry, this member of the
Actiniidae family will stretch its sweeper tentacles to grab
food from the water column. After feeding, the tentacles then
shorten again
Requirements: In order for the Rose
Bulb Anemone to stay beautiful, intense lighting is required.
This means either halide lighting, or a large bank of T5's or
older VHO's would do a great job. In
the home aquarium, the Rose Bulb Anemone requires similar habitat
and positioned amongst deeply creviced live rock or branchy corals
placed in sandy substrate. Most Bulb Anemones prefer to find
their own place to settle and may move about your aquarium until
a suitable location is found. Under ideal conditions, it can
grow up to 1-ft in diameter. However, most typically max out
at about 8 to 10 inches in the home aquarium under high intensity
lighting and proper keeping.

Tipped Sebae Anemone
Heteractis crispa
Description: The scientific name
for Purple Tipped Sebae Anemone is Heteractis Crispa. Other common
names include Sebae Anemone, Leather Anemone, and Radianthus
Keukenthali. The Sebae Anemone shares a symbiotic relationship
with a variety of clownfish such as, Clark’s, Bluestripe,
Cinnamon, Oman, Orange Skunk, Pink Skunk, Percula, True Percula,
Saddleback, Red Saddleback, White-band, Two-band, Three-band,
Tomato, Barrier Reef White Bonnet, Maroon, Gold Band Maroon,

Heteractis crispa can host nearly any type of clownfish.
The Sebae's tentacles usually
have magenta colored tips although yellowish-green tips are also
found. The oral disk may also have a green sheen under actinic
light.
LIghting: The Sebae anemone requires
a high lighting intensity in the marine tank it inhabits. A recommendation
of 250 watt to 400 watt halide lighting or equivalent is nescessary
for the heath of the Heteractis crispa.
Habitat:
The Sebae
Anemone may move around in your aquarium till it finds a suitable
place to settle down on sand or on a rock. It requires good water
quality and the addition of iodine to the water as a dietary
supplement.
Feeding: The Sebae Anemone derives
its nutrition mainly through photosynthesis which is performed
by zooxanthellae, an acellular photosynthetic alga living symbiotically
within the Anemone. Heteractis crispa is Carnivorous in feeding
habit and filter feeds a few times per week, when open. It eats
Mysis Shrimp, the meaty tidbits of shrimp and silversides, fish,
krill, mussels, zooplankton and phytoplankton. |

Condylactus Anemone
Condylactis gigantea
One of the easiest anemones to care
for, the Condylactus Anemone can be a good choice for a beginner.These
anemones are quite popular, due to their relative hardiness and
generally low cost. They have interesting colors with contrasting
tips. The base color is usually orange or white and the tentacles
can have magenta, purple, pink, or yellow tips.Not to often hosts
for Clown Fish, in a home aquarium, Condylactus Anemones may
move about the aquarium. This can be unfortunate, if other corals
or anemones are present, as they could be harmed by its stinging
tentacles. Condylactus should be fed once in a while a small
chunk of fish, shrimp, squid, etc. An ideal set up for a Condylactus
would include moderate to strong lighting and a moderate current.Good
substrates include live rock or sand, into which the Condy can
burrow to anchor it's foot.

Rock
Flower Anemone
|
We've put together
a beautiful batch of Rock Flower Anemones for this special. Each
one a real beauty! Remember , Flower Anemone's prefer to bury
their foot in the sand, so they require a tank with a sandy bottom
to do well. Feed pieces of squid, shrimp, and other meaty foods.
Just touch the piece of food against the anemone. Look great
in groups too!
The Flower Anemone is a very hardy anemone that is often chosen
by new saltwater aquarists. They are found in a wide range of
colors like green, orange, white and combinations of these. Also
known as "Rock Anemones", they fix their foot into
rocks or hard surfaces and, once attached, will not be moved
easily. They can extend their foot up to several inches through
substrate.
They are usually
safe with fish and corals, but large Flower Anemones , like all
anemones have been reported to eat small invertebrates and shrimp,
so use caution.
Anemones get
most of their nutrition from the aquarium lighting and dissolved
nutrients in the water but occasional feedings are beneficial.
Shrimp, clam, krill and other meaty foods can be fed occassionally
by placing the food on top of the anemone near its mouth and
making sure no other tankmates take it before the anemone can
take it in.

Magnifica Ritteri
Anemone
Heteractis magnifica
Also referred to as the Magnificent
Anemone, or Heteractis Magnificent Sea Anemone. Maximum size
for this anemone is 12". Its tentacles have a long, non-tapering
shape that may, on occasion, appear swollen at the tips. They
can almost completely retract into the base.This Anemone requires
strong lighting combined with strong, but intermittent, water
movement within the tank. It generally prefers a high point in
the tank to ensure it obtains all the light it needs, but it
may change locations, seeking the ideal conditions. Its strong
sting can harm corals. The presence of a Clownfish, such as Amphiprion
ocellaris, Amphiprion percula, or Amphiprion perideraion, will
help it acclimate. Besides requiring bright light, their diet
should include Mysis Shrimp, and micro-plankton a few times per
week. It also can be fed very small bits of raw shrimp or silversides..This
species is very difficult to keep and should only be attempted
by expert aquarists. It is a 'delicate shipper.' and their is
no guarantee on this species at all.

Ultra Maxi Mini Carpet Anemone
Stichodactyla tapetum
 
Description:These are not died colors. This photo
has not been touched up. Maxi Mini Carpet Anemone's are also
called Pizza Anemone's. They are exceptionally hardy, easy to
keep , and extremely simple to clone by cutting. Maxi mini carpets
come from Vietnam. They came into the U.S. market about 5 years
ago and only recently have the really nice colors been coming
in. Unlike the mini carpet anemones, these maxi anemones come
in a rainbow of colors and grow up to 5 inches.
The maxi mini anemone is very easy to keep and acclimates within
minutes when you introduce it into your tank. It prefers to live
in rock and will move quickly to your rock work if you place
it on a sand bed. A good suggestion is to have a few pieces of
rubble rock around to place the anemones in so they won't move
around too much. Once they are settled in to their spot with
good light and decent flow, they will usually stay in one place.
Most people keep their anemones under T5's, lower down in a tank
with MH's, or under LED lighting. To see all the beautiful colors
in Maxi Mini Carpet Anemones actinic / blue lighting is required
to get the beauties to fluoresce under.
Maxi mini carpets have a week sting compared to other anemones
and other corals. They are not aggressive and you don't have
to worry about them digesting your corals during the night, like
some other corals would do. I would not advise putting them next
to other types of anemones as the maxi minis will probably be
damaged. You can keep several maxi mini carpet anemones together
in a tank. Since they come in a variety of striking colors, a
maxi mini tank is quite beautiful.
Diet Though mostly photosynthetic,
supplemental feedings of raw table shrimp, clam, mussel, silversides,
squid and other marine based meats can be fed every few days.
Pieces should be cut roughly to the size of the anemones mouth.

Pink Tipped
Haitian Reef Anemone
Condylactis sp.
Description:The Pink-Tipped Anemone
is collected from the Western Atlantic Ocean in lagoons or on
inner reefs, as individuals, or loose groups, with their range
extending from Brazil to Bermuda. Also known as the Atlantic
Anemone, the Haitian Reef Anemone, and the Caribbean Anemone.
The Pink-Tipped Anemone is one of the most familiar and commonly
available of the anemones in the aquarium trade. Its beautiful
colors and inexpensive price make it a popular anemone, especially
for beginners. In the aquarium a base size of about 4" is
common. This species has diverse color variations. The base color
is usually brown to white and the tentacles may or may not have
magenta, purple, or green tips on its long tapering tentacles.
The tentacles may occasionally develop a bubble-like appearance
to them. It prefers to bury its base in the sand or into the
crevice of a rock for protection.
The Pink-Tipped Anemone is a hardy aquarium anemones, but this
sea anemone species still needs good light to do well in the
aquarium. Like all sea anemones they are photosynthetic and need
light to keep the zooxanthelle that lives within their body tissue
alive. The Condylactis Anemone has been known to deflate at times.
This is normal if it happens once every few weeks, but no more
than that. This behavior, the sea anemone purging, may indicate
a water change is needed.
The typical reef environment is what is needed for your Condylactis
Anemone. Live rock and a sand/reef environment is typical of
the Western Atlantic.They need live rock or some other solid
material they can attach to. Be sure to have all of your pumps
covered, most good quality pumps have guards on them and are
worth the investment. Because this anemone will move about, you
will want to provide foam filters over any power head intakes.
Diet/Feeding: The Pink-Tipped Anemone
is a carnivore. Feed it chopped silversides, shrimp, krill, and
mussels, fresh chopped fish (from your grocery store), as well
