Agree 100%. Deep asked already but I did not see an answer. Where did you get them?

I got them from a local fish store in Brooklyn. Customers there cracked up when I asked for a fake anemone. They asked me where do I get the idea to buy a fake anemone. I did not want to start a fight so I do not want to tell them.

A guy who frequent there, gave me a real green one and my fish go right at it and rub his body over it. The fish seems very happy to see the green anemone. Finally, it seems going the right direction.

Thank you for all the help.

I want to tell you how happy I am. My fish finally gets a big stomach and swim around. He is eating my flakes and bring shrimp meat to the anemone. Do they talk to each other in some way? How does the fish know the anemone like shrimp?

Yes, I do. It's a real anemone.

It's called instinct.

What type of anemone is it? Do you have the right water parameters, flow, lighting etc to sustain that anemone's life for an extended period of time?

When an anemone starts to die it goes quick and can foul a tank quicker. Usually very little survives.

What is the proper equipment to house the anemone?

I have a tank, kinfe to cut the table shrimp, a light, a filter, an plastic ring that the guy called it a house for the anemone. What else do I need? I read from other sites that they are more or less all I need.

[Chiefmcfuz]

Protien skimmer, Powerheads, type of Lighting? What type of anemone is it? That will help you know how to take care of it.

Green with purple tips. Sometimes it will bulge up when the light is on. My mom said the water is OK. I trust her. She keep fish since she is a kid.

The guy who gave me the anemone told me to keep an eye on the anemone to see if it walks away from the plastic tube and hide under the rock and that I should check if the anemone's body is wrinkling. If it wrinkles, that's not a good sign. So far, the aneomne has been very fat and curl up when the fish bring it meals.
