Rbta Anemone box ideas??
Looking for ideas for temporary housing of captured splits and other rbta. I have a nice acclimatization box, but the slits are a bit too wide, the tentacles are able to poke through, then they try to smoosh the rest along and get a bit stuck. So thats not good. I am using a small hatchery, like a pets island one, but its sorta small. It works great because the slits are small and they cant get through. I have probably 15 or so bigger rbta in my 120, so when one climbs an overflow or some other easy removal position, i need something to house them in.
My nicer box is a acrylic, slide top, i would say typical nice quality box, sized like 8 x 6 x 6 or so? Any thoughts or ideas? Get a bigger hatchery thing, or try to modify my current nicer box to tighten up the slits, or some other options?? Housing would be from a day to a week or two. Thanks so much for your time Joel

Look up pond plant supplies. The pots they use are fantastic for this, and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

Yep, pond baskets are what I use to isolate anemones and even fish at times - works perfectly!
You find then at Lows, Home Depot and many other places that carry pond supplies.
