Favorite Anemone in Your Tank

[Gumbies R Us]

Anemones are one of my favorite things to see in tanks. I love the way they look and how they interact with the tank as a whole. My question is what is your personal favorite anemone that is in your tank.

I have both a BTA and RFA:

I love both, but considering my RFA stays put and doesn’t split every few weeks, I’m going to have say it’s my favorite nem.

The only one I have probably…

Edit: believe it is an RBTA

This RFA is my favorite out of the ~100 or so I have at the moment. I have bigger and prettier ones, but he’s been my favorite for a little while because of the incredible change in colors that’s been occurring over the last year. It’s made the little guy captivating to me. Such cool little creatures.

Here is a photo from summer 2022:

And here he is a few days ago eating some shrimp:

That is a plump, happy looking RFA!

Thanks - that was when I got him. A few weeks ago there was an issue with the BTA forcing him out of his home and he began to bleach a bit, but is looking better now.

I have BTAs, LTAs, a purple sebae, a green haddon’s and I think 18 RFAs now. I’d say my big LTA is my favorite. (There are seven orange skunk clowns in this tank!)

I love the way they look and if I can get one to host my clowns I’m sure it would be super fun to observe and learn about it.

i just heard anemones are hard to keep cause their movement.

are there mitigation methods? I have a 20 and love the look but fear for their lives.

you just need a pretty empty and established tank. And make sure the spot with the most light is empty, they'll most likely go there. Though anemones have their own minds so don't take what I say fully. also, they do split so remove the splits once they start moving and you can sell them!
