2 species of anemone in one tank?

[mr_X]

125..is the tank. one anemone is my purple LTA, there is another multicolored one..i haven't seen it yet, and i hear it has green tips. that's about it (someone is breaking down a tank and getting rid of everything in a hurry). if i put this new anemone in the 125, will i have issues? do i need to keep them seperated? i suppose i could build a rock wall that seperates the 2 sides of the tank enough to be impassable for an anemone.
remarks?
questions?
concerns?
kudos?
anyone?

In a 125 there shouldn't be (and I said SHOULDN'T be :lol: )any problems with keeping 2, they should sort out who lives where in short order. The wall idea is a bad one IMO due to flow and appearance issues.

lol, had to say it, lawdog have you seen X's wall building skills? he is a master at constructing walls.

prolly true but I dislike any structure that interferes with good water flow and would have to see what he means

I have to ask what is the deal with having more than one anemone in a tank? I have 8 I do believe and they are in a 90 gallon. Hey by the way for the people that have read my previous posts my algae problem has bit the dust that **** went on the red hair algae highway to someother buttheads tank. hehehehehe!

 

[mr_X]

are they all the same species? same species shouldn't be an issue, but i wasn't sure about different species.

No Sir, They are: 2 green bubble tip, 2 green leather, 2 Rose LT, and 2 white with purple tip LT. I have not seen any problems When I put them in they have pretty much stayed in one place (lucky).

 

[mr_X]

wow..you really like anemone. lol. " 2 green leather" ? green leather anemone? never heard of it. neither did google 8O
do you have a pic?

Hey Mr X. I just like the way that they sway I had a few given to me. I would like to get into the stonies but I need more experience and better lighting and bigger tank and a better established house (where I will not be moving again for a long time). OK maybe not green leather anemone but that is what I was told by the person that I got it from. He is just a jackass that is a pond specalist and has a little bit of really good aquarium products cheaper than the rest. It just looked like an anemone to me and I figured well if it looks like one it must be one. Well enough jabbering here it is. hopefully you can see it.

It was actually 3 times smaller about 5 months ago.

It's carpet anemone. It can grow as big as your tank, just one single specimen. After well established, nothing would escape its super sticky tentacles, except the clowns.

 

[mr_X]

ahh..green carpet. you know..i was thinking carpet when you mentioned leather. yeah..they get big as a steering wheel. lol

 

[mr_X]

or a trash can lid even 8O

 

[The Chefin' man]

Cool! They are apart of the anomone family right?

Yup. Hope you don't have sand-dwelling fish (or, if you do, you have a moonlight installed).
