Anemone.. any advice??

[rkmcewen]

I'm looking into buying my first anemone. Having said that I have no clue what type to get, if they need any specific care and etc. if anyone has some advice for me I would greatly aprectiate it!
Right now i have a 30g tank with 35lbs LR and 2 clown fish

most hosting anemones need a fairly well established tank. how old is yours?

 

[rkmcewen]

I've had it up and running for over 3 months

What about your lighting? 3 months is cutting it close, your tank is still maturing. I also want to say, there is no guarantee the clowns will even host one.....

I may not add them right away but I would like to at soem point in time and I am trying to learn as much as I can about them, or if you could suggest what I should add next. For lighting i have a 48 watt nova extreme

Not enough light, in my opinion. Do you plan to have corals in the future? Anemones have a tendency to roam a tank and don't really care about killing off that $200 coral you just bought last week!

I don't know of a 48W nova extreme. Are talking about the 48", 432W nova or the 216W fixture? What sized tank do you have?

I have a 30g tank, I dont think i will be geting corals and if i do i would like to set up a much bigger tank for that
