multiple anemone nano tank

mgirdwood · 07/17/2020, 07:34 AM

Hi

I have just set up a new small 60L nano tank, however the live rock i added turned up with small 3 what look like green bubble tip anemone ( and some huge bristle worms - but thats a different issue ) already attached. They were quite small and weedy but over the last 3 weeks i have been feeding and they are now looking quite well.
In addition i have I have a couple of small fish and CuC. Obviously i realise i can not keep all 3 in such a small tank, but when would be the best time to either move one or more to my 90L tank or the LFS ?

any suggestions welcome as i am still quite aNoob on the hobby

thanks

A picture of the anemones will help get you a proper ID. Oftentimes pest anemones are the ones that come in on live rock.

Hi
hopefully the attachment works

That's a mojano pest anemone. You'll want to inject them with kalk paste or Joe's juice. Pest anemones can spread quickly and take over your live rock.
