I like the green ones you had pictured there. When you guys say theydshouldn't be in a new tank what do you mean? ONly one or break in the tank first?

This type of anemones are only for experienced reefer definitely not for beginners. They are cold-water corals and anemones, ALL need one or twice a week fed. The water temperature should never be over 23 ° C rise already expected in many areas of the USA is a pretty big problem. They also need very stable water levels.

BTW these anemones are not traded in the United States, they are ALL anemones and corals from the Mediterranean.

Victor (vdituri) asked me "What at the red polyps (they look almost like zoanthids) in your picture from your mediteranean anemone tank?"

He probably think of this



These corals are Balanophyllia europea, very similar to the sun coral. The difference is that they all individual polyps and are NOT together as a sun coral. They are found in almost all coasts of the Mediterranean into 1-6m depth. They have Zooxanthellen, but also eat plankton.
