Topic: Strawberry anenome. Posted: May 24 2011 at 1:06am |
I found a colony of these guys living on one of the rocks that i had up for sale.
Probably about 25 or so.Really wierd all the research that i done says they cannot live in water above 68 degrees and do not do well in high lighting or high flow,hmmmm.I guess crazier things have happened.Glad i did so more looking.Anyway thought i would share this with ya.personally never seen anything like them.Beautiful but small.

I have TONS of these in my tank. They are not a true strawberry anemone, but are actually a small species of ball anemone. The are non-photosynthetic but will thrive as long as they are able to capture food.

Mine are in a tank that's above 68 degrees and at first I was nervous about them. I've never feed them but they are low key and fun to look at. I was surprised and pleased to know that they are good and not harmful to the tank. I love learning more and more in this hobby.

My husband had some in his tank, then we added everything to one of my old tanks. They reproduced like mad, stayed tucked away in dark corners, and didn't bother anything, but they drove me nuts for some reason.
