Anemone Survival?

[ElGuappo]

Well ive been reefing now for about 16 monthes and am on my 3rd anem. all were/are bt as i have a smaller tank. the first 2 never made it more than 6 weeks. my clowns never took to hostin until recently(but host in a torch and hairy mushies). the one i have now was bleech white as it took a home under a canopy with no light. it was too difficult to spot feed so when i took my tank apart i moved the rock to be a shelf and now the anem is atop. i have been spot feeding 2 mysis 3 times a week. his tips are no longer witherd and have started to get the rosey back in the tip. the rest is still white. this anem is now about 6 monthes, and is making a serious comeback.

In my experience think that an anems chances are really out of your hands. its just a matter of how well it took the shipping. ifeel as soon as its removed from the ocean you have a 50/50 chance and the rest is up to you. i use reefers best coral marine now after switching from coral marine seasalt about a monthe ago. i have regularly fed cyclopese and thats about it (and other frozen foods). i think thats what kept him alive while in his terribly picked location. i could not get him to move at all his boot was in a 3/4 inch deep hole that fit perfecly around so i had no chance of removing him. the PowerHead trick didnt work either.

if interested i will try to find picks from all stages.
