I have not kept anemonies but intend to try in the future so I have been trying to ask questions. I've been told 2 things: 1) they are difficult to keep alive for more than 3 or 4 months in a non-reef tank system where you are using standard filters. 2) they are BOTH filter feeders and accept lumps of food and should be given both. Anemonies are a broad class of invertebrates so I guess Ill say I'd like to keep the kind that clowns love to cuddle up in (carpet anemonies?). Anybody wish to comment? -- Ken Dalka (Bell Labs) ihnp4!ihlpg!dalka IE 2F-518 (312) 416-7437
