Anemone cup questions!

Derrick0580 · May 22, 2023

For those who use these contraptions, should they be acrylic or glass? Also I plan to make some of the coin capsule covered amazon magnets, will it be possible to glue the suction cups to these and use a clamp to flatten it all out till it dries, and will regular super glue work?

I don't understand the point of them considering anemones move like crazy.

Mine currently in the tank do not. These are for a frag tank that I sell and trade out of. Figure it would be easier to clean a smaller cup vs a large acclimation box.

Not sure how deep you frag tank is, but I'd imagine you could also use a short drinking glass with a flat bottom and avoid any drilling.

I have found using baskets like this to be easier especially when it comes time to remove them seems like the holes in the basket make it easier to remove due to the foot ot having a solid surface to attach to. Also the holes provide great flow thru it for the anemone

Only time mine ever move out of the cup is when they split and one gets evicted. I have a piece of knobby rubble in the cups and they seem to like that.
