Galveston looking for anenomies (1 Viewer)

[Kemah]

Hey is there anyone that would be interested in going to galveston fri or saturday night with me to look for some anenomies? If so let me know.

They are usually easy to spot on the rocks out there. Hard to pull off. The one I had just hung out on a rock. They will also sting corals and clowns do not host in them

 

[Timanator]

Pretty much all the big rock pieces will have them attached. Just get a few rocks put it in a bucket and bring it home.

[joe71190]

[Kemah]

I can go up there whenever... since i live in kemah its really just like going down the street and i have a good friend that lives on the strand. so anyone who wants to meet up just pm me with your number and I will send you mine. Basically I can comedown whenever is convenient for you and I am up for collecting anything else also.

[deepsea43]

are you looking for any specific colors they can be blue red green purple blue and orange.

Nothing really specific but it would be fun to find multiple colors so I can pick what I want.

I hope youre not putting these in your reef tank..
Galveston anemones are super sticky and will eat anything that touches them.. I have about 5 in a 10gal with a hermit and some weird little crab.. I would never put them in my main tank because they are very hard to get off/peel of anything if you ever want them gone. And they move alot imo

 

[devonian]

mario, what lighting do they need?

 

[mario8402]

none haha..
I run the stock hood that came with the 10gal and put in some of those screw in flourescents... one of my flourescents burned out so its been only running with one and I turn it on once in a blue moon since the hood is not hooked up to a timer...
They open up really big at night since they are mostly nocturnal imo and stay shriveled up most of the other time.. I feed them silver sides rarely and give some to the crab and hermit....apparently they can live in any type of water too haha.. I used to do water changes on it once a week then slacked off because I wanted to get rid of the whole setup.. Its running stock hood, a Topfin30 regular filter and a koralia one.. I just changed the water last night since 2 months ago and everything is living ok... I am even getting coraline on the intake tube for the filter which I find amazing since I have not changed the water, had the lights on or dosed anything.. hah

what lighting do they need?

Well, when you consider that they live in mostly turbid water and down at the very bottom and between the rocks, I would say they don't need much light.
