Advice needed

[Barcochris]

Can any one give me some advice on a Haitian Sea Anemone. I am getting one from someone that is breaking down his tank to move. Any advice would be great.

It is also known as the Condy Anemone.
What I read about them is they are semi-aggressive and to use in a reef with caution.
They like a medium amount of water flow and high amount of light. (MH)
They can get up to 6" across.

Consider their needs, habits and behavior to determine if it's the right fella for you...

The Haitian Reef Anemone requires strong light and should never be purchased if a good lighting system is not in place. It will do well in an aquarium with live rock and several crustaceans. Although an Anemone requires a reef environment, it is not the best suited for the reef aquarium. The Haitian Reef Anemone moves around the tank and has a sting that can inflict grave damage to other anemones and corals. Do not include its natural predators such as the Red-Leg Hermit Crab. Unlike other anemones, the Haitian Reef Anemone does not have a relationship with any particular fish, and it is rare for any type of clownfish or damsel to reside within them.

What kind of tank are you putting it in???....they move allot and will sting other anemones and corals....I have a LTA that is over 12 inches now and if I was to do it all over again, I wouldn't have put in my tank...it was 3 inches when I got it and wanted it for my clowns...that was over a year ago and before I started putting corals in.....best of luck.

The Condy Anemone is also known as the Haitian Anemone or Giant Golden Anemone. It is found throughout the Caribbean and Western Atlantic, in lagoons or on inner reefs, as individuals, or loose groups. It is never found in connected clusters. Its disc diameter is of 16" (40 cm), but a disc of about 4" (10 cm) is common in an aquarium. This species has diverse color variations. The base color is usually brown to white and the tentacles may or may not have magenta, purple, or green tips on its long tapering tentacles. The tentacles may occasionally develop a bubble-like appearance to them. It prefers to bury its base in the sand or into the crevice of a rock for protection.

The diet should include feedings of fish, mussels, shrimp, or other foods of this type.
