Default Small hosting anenomes

I am hoping to host an anemone in my 10 gal, and was wondering if there are any that stay small enough. I don't want the anemone to take over the tank. I read somewhere that pink tip haitian condy... anemones only grow to about 6", but don't host well... wish they did!

Like anyhting, when it is small, you can have it in a smaller tank, but when it gets big, you want something bigger. So when you buy an anemone, think about how big it CAN get, not the size it is in the store.

Yeah, I would like to find one that won't out grow the tank, but so far it doesn't look like there are any. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

how fast do they grow?? And will they live ok with 4.5 watts/gal? If I put the smallest hosting amemone I can find in a 12 gallon Aquapod, would it be ok in there for 2 years before it outgrows the tank? 6 months? 3 years?

im not really sure, but 4.5 wpg is fine. also, depending on how much light there is, thats what will make it have tis size. the less light, the more it will expand.

I have two anenomes in my 55gal tank. They did good for over a year but now they have changed coler from light pink to one is white and the other is white with blue tips. they do not expand like they did the past year. Is this a norm or are they asking for some help.
