Is it me, or are anemone's the most abused animals in this hobby? People see Nemo and immediately go out ot buy a tank, clownfish and an anemone without regard to what they need.
People who have no idea what they are doing buy these things and they are sold by other people who have no idea what they are doing. I have the same type of LFS in my area, a smaller chain name that has a tank of bleached Condy's that one guy tried to pass off to me as an LTA. The tank is in a dark room with no lighting AT ALL over the tank.
Then I have the independent guy down the road who charges a little higher prices for his livestock, but has his anemone's under MH or PC lighting and asks you all sorts of questions about your set-up before he sells one. He has a beautiful HUGE Sebae in his main display tank, so he obviously knows what he is doing.
Don't even get me started on the LARGE chain store that has a tank of LTA's that are clearly unhealthy. I can see some with damaged feet, others bleached. Ugghhh.
