What type oa annemone can I get for my Clown because I going to get to pair, but I don't want nothing thats going to grow to fast in a 24g.

Is it possible to keep a dwarf feather duster in a 24g?

[Fishhead Junkie]

get yourself a nice LTA(long tentacle) or BTA(bubble tip), your clownfish will love both, make sure it has some color. i made the mistake of just getting a long tentacle that was white...very boring to look at. a nice purple colored one would be sweet.you can keep various feather dusters of any variety in your 24 gallon. steve

You need to check the tank size those anemones need. You dont have to get a dwarf, get a full sized feather duster.

I wouldn't recommend putting an anemone in a 24 gallon tank or any tank for atleast 6 months until it matures

hmmm idk reefnoob1991, i have a 20 gallon tank with 4 sebae anemones, 2 Lg LT anemones,6 bubble tip anemones, 1 tube anemone, and a condy anemone so i have 14 in a 20 and it has been running for about a year now

[reefnoob1991]

When'd you start putting them in?

[e_baer]

I am going to have to agree with reefnoob here.... Anemones should have at least a 30g tank, depending on the tpye of anemone it is. The types you have, BTA, sabae and LT all need a larger tank. The condy and tube will be fine in a 20, but the larger ones should have more room.

[clown shrimp]

nope lol the condy and tube are bad for the 20 they are the most aggressive of the bunch, and the self propagate so they stay surprisingly small "all of the anemones" self propagate

[clown shrimp]

oh and i put them in about 5 months ago???? so when the tank was 7 months

[reefnoob1991]

So you pretty much proved what I said lol

[clown shrimp]

ohhh my fault i meant ebaer lol yea definitely wait six months! imm talk about the size and stuff. lol but yea ur cool reefnoob, btw this is a all anemone tank with just 1 clown, not a reef

[e_baer]

I am just perplexed how all those anemones can even fit in that tank lol. Im not saying it cant be done, just simply am saying its not suggested. But if everything is working out for you then good job

[clown shrimp]

what i have noticed is that you can mix many anemones, being, BT,LT,SEbae, codys, and rock anemones, and they can touch but you cant mix more aggressive anemones like carpets, hells fire, tubes and H magnifica

[e_baer]

That makes sense. It is just like corals....you can mix most polyps, but not a brain and polyps.

In my experience, the bubble tips are very very hardy and my clown loves it.. our anenomie has been alive for atleast 4yrs (who knows how old it was when we got it). Mine is so hardy it was literally hanging out of the water for 15 minutes of tank hell this morning and i didnt even worry about it. the dang thing is soo resiliant.

[clown shrimp]

oh i know BT's are really hardy!! my green carpet is probally my most hardy anemone. it has been in 50 degree tank water and is still living!! "the temp was due to power outage" and yea ebaer just like polyps and brains lol
