I picked up this anemone as trade at my LFS. I dont know much about anemones and the reason i got it is i have some clown fishes that are pretty old about 4yrs and i never put an anemone with them yet so i though of this as an addition to there natural lifestyle.

Couple question i have are what type of anemone is it, does it look in good shape and other general info like adult size, life span, anything really. will it host the clown fishes cause they havent touched it and its been over 24hrs? The clarkie seems to be hangin around it but hasnt touched it yet.

So far When the lights are on it stays open but tighter together and last night when the lights went off it went crazy and swelled up under the moon light all spread wide open.

Its a light greenish color with a lighter base and pink dots on the tips. i couldnt get any pics of the base because it stuck itself in a nich in the rock and seems to be unmovable.

I have a clarkie about 3.5'' and 2 matched maroons gold stripe 2.5''.

your clarkii and maroons are in the same tank??

yep bubble tip nem. Your maroons should already be hosting it by now lol its theyre natual host in the wild. they are the easiest to take care of, but that doesent mean they are easy. they need strong lighting, you need to feed them. ( i like to give mine silverslides, make sure they are defrosted in tank water)

There life expectancy is pretty long. they like rocks not sand... heres the best bta site i know of

yeah they in the same tank for about 2yrs now atleast. Im suprised they never fight. I dont know whats up but i think ive deprived them of anemones way to long or somthing or there just retarded clowns, cause they wont touch the GBTA. The maroons havent even looked at it, the clarkie has swam past it several times but shows no interest in it. 1.5 day now, what gives? All my clowns are tank bred , does that make a differance?
