Flying anemones

Tanthaitrung · 06/22/2019, 01:55 AM

Dear all,

Today I would like to share the thing, that keeps my anemones flying but unmoving

This is my friend’s “invention”, who is from Vietnam. It’s the cup, that hobbyists use to grow plants in freshwater tank. It’s diameter is 6cm and the height is 7cm, can keep medium anemone.

We don’t know why they are not moving and not sure they will be there forever but it’s 5 months my friend’s Haddoni is still there (mine are 2 months).

I will update every few months.

Have a nice weekend

It is not easy to understand what you wrote. Do you mean that keeping the anemone in a cup you can move him to various places in the tank without having to dig him up?

If this is the case, it is hardly your invention. Various Reefers have keep sand anemones in container of sand, especially when they don’t have a sand bed in their tank. Can even pack the container up and move to another city by flying although I would recommended clear it with the airline security first.

A long time ago I bought some clams in LA. Flying back to Houston, I cleared it first with the airline but the person who check it in make me open the styrofoam container to inspect them then decided that after I open them up and open the triple bags the. Han s of leaking is too high and did not allow me to take it on the plane or check in as luggage. My brother have to take it back to the store and they mail it to me.

If you can put a Haddoni in a container and fill it with sand, the Haddoni will be content with stay in it’s sand covered foot and stay where it is if given adequate condition of light water movement and good enough water condition.
Nice anemone.

I no longer use sand beds for haddoni. I fill a large glass mixing bowl with sand four inches deep. The anemone will dig into the sand and attach to the glass. If light and current is to its liking it will not move.
