So I got a condelactis anemone a week ago from this past Sunday I didn't have enough lighting and unfortunately it died so I got more lighting which adds more day light during the night and looks pretty cool but my question is will a orange Florida ricordia be ok for my tank it is a soft coral and on this website says low to moderate lighting so will it work

 

[nelix10]

Oh ya! Go for it Richordia's can handle tough conditions and low lighting!

 

[nelix10]

If you want something that flows with the current get a hammer or torch coral! They are hardy, do well in medium light and look fantastic swaying back and forth in the water!

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Awesome totally getting that then and torches you said

 

[nelix10]

Ya a torch and hammer were some of my first Corals! I did the same as you killed my first nem in a couple days because I did not know to wait!

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Ya me too I felt bad for the little guy but I wanted my clowns to host something besides a fake coral haha

 

[bribo12]

There is no guarantee clowns will host anything. Heck I've seen clowns host clams and zoanthids before a nem. But I agree ricordeas are good as well as any euphyllia corals

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Awesome have you guys seen a orange Florida one though they're awesome

 

[bribo12]

Ricordea florida are nice but check out Yuma ricordeas. Some are drool worthy haha

According to liveaquaria.com "Unlike other anemones, the Condy Anemone does not have a relationship with any particular fish, and it is rare for any type of clownfish or damsel to reside within them." I do have a pair of Pearl Eye Clarkie's that host my Condy but it took several months.
