Well today I got my new anemone at my lfs. It was 5 dollar for it. Pretty cheap but very pretty. I'm not sure wat type of anemone it is though. They said it wasx a condy anemone. Here are some pix.

What size tank is it? How long as the tank been setup? What type of lighting are your using? Condylactis Anemones are very difficult to care for, need to be introduced into a mature tank preferably 1 yr, and need high lighting using Metal Halide.

This tank is just the tank in this one.

I have just add more stuff to it. The tank has been set-up for almost 3 months now.

Im using marine glo. Are they not good enough?

3 Months is too soon to add an Anemone, as they need to be added to tanks that have been running for around 1 year. So you are using a Marine-Glo Fluorescent bulb? if so that is not enough light to keep an Anemone. Anemones really need Metal Halide lighting to do the best. My advice would be to remove the anemone.

I'll do that as soon as possible then.
