You made a bad choice. If you would have researched before getting this anemone, you would have discovered that this is a very aggressive Anemone and your clown will probably not host it. It requires a deep sand bed(minimum of 4 inches) and water temperatures colder than that of your fish. It is very aggressive and could kill your clown. You should never impulse buy. Why do you even ask for our help iof you don't even take our advice?

I'm thinking that CRACKERMAN is actually Sunnymittu, from the tone of these posts and the spelling of "damshel" in another thread. I have never seen anyone so interested in not listening to any advice.

I agree. His style of writing, lack of punctuation, complete disregard for any advice you all try to give him, and is love for the enter key all lead me to believe that the above is true and you're waisting your time.

Crackerman -- May I suggest that if you want the people's advice, which believe me is as good/better than anywhere else, you listen to it. Also use spell check and proper punctuation.

Sorry to be rude, but honestly.

Are you like a kid, is that why you have problems like taking advice? Nothing against kids, I'm only 15 myself, just wondering if that's your problem with taking advice.

How is asking for advice, getting advice and because that advice isn't what you wanted to hear 'demotivating' to you? If you just want people to agree with you, then why ask for advice.

You ask how many anemone you can keep in a 30gallon tank. If you use the Internet at all, you can find out that those that keep a healthy saltwater fish aquarium will suggest a tank much larger than 30 for just one, let alone several. I kept 3 in a 210 gallon tank (with a 40gallon sump). I had 4 but one was constantly attacked by two of the others. I had to find it a new home for its safety.

the tank i buy from is most of the times filled with dead fishes and filled with deseases
Then you buy diseased fish and they die in your tank, but its not your fault because you bought them already sick? Why would you waste money buying anything from a tank filled with dead and diseased fish?

And now you buy a 'tube anemone' (which isn't even technically an anemone at all and needs dim lighting or shading from light, not the "6.178 watt per gallon light" you said you have) and throw it in with clownfish and expect it to have a symbiotic relationship?

In the crowded conditions of the too-small tank, and they way the tube sheds stinging cells, it will soon be the only thing alive, if it lives itself. They do not host clownfish, but they will eat fish if given the opportunity.

**Where is the line forming to bang my head too??!! **

Crackerman, come back in 5 years and if your anemones are still alive and thriving then and only then can you say they are doing fine.

In the wild anemones live decades and until you can keep one healthy long term I think you are doing the anemone a disservice.

Oh and we didn't demotivate you.....you did that to yourself with your obtuse and stubborn need to do things your way with total disregard to any and all advice. You are welcome to come on here and post pics etc but please don't waste our time and yours by seeking any advice. There is no language barrier only a mental one. Your pictures speak for themselves.

Guys guys, lets keep the peace, however, CRACKERMAN, you are being very cruel by doing this to the anenomes... You seem to not only ignore advice, but you seem to want to take away from these peoples time by seeking it. Now whatever you do, that is your business, however, realize this: You are killing your animals slowly simply for the selfish reason that you want one... Now I don't think that anyone wants to hear from you again until you learn to take advice and do what you should do for your animals and not what you want to do...
