So a friend of mine with a well established SW tank had a pink tip, or haitan anemone in his tank along with some others. Unfortunetly his tank sprung a leak on day he was gone and he came back to no water, and a lot of dead fish and other various things....one thing that did seem to survive was this pink tip anemone. So i've got this anemone in my cycling tank, that the pet store wouldn't take back for him (really long, stupid story). he had no where else to put it, and he really wasn't feeling starting up another tank right away because he'd was really blown by the disaster.
So that's some background, what do i do with this damn thing? i really like it, and i think i'd like to keep it. But from what i've read, anemones shouldn't be put into tanks that are not well established, and as we speak i only have around 4-5 watts per gallon and i'm told that should do alright, but i still dont know. I also know they're very touchy about bad water conditions, and in my cycling tank there's bound to be something in there that it doesn't like.
Any suggestions, anything i can do to try and save this anemone?
