    I recently purchased a condy anemone

    The store i bought it from told me they usually do not take back saltwater fish. I do know of a store within a couple hours of where i live that will take saltwater fish. I would like to be able to keep the condy. What would i need to do to make my aquarium a suitable home for this anemone.
