smallest anenome

so what is the smallest anenome, that is decently hardy( for an anenome)

Amphiprion · 05/11/2006, 08:18 PM

The two smaller species (usually, anyway) I would recommend are Entacmaea quadricolor (BTA) or Condylactis gigantea (condy anemone).

I heard the glass anenome are really small

lol j/k

importfan878 · 05/11/2006, 08:31 PM

also how big do these anenomes get

Amphiprion · 05/11/2006, 08:37 PM

Sorry about that. Both species usually reach a maximum of 12", with BTAs infrequently reaching greater sizes. Also, if you can find it, Stichodactyla tapetum, the mini carpet anemone, would be a good choice also. They only reach around 2" and tend to cluster like mushrooms do.

If you just want an anemone, there are rock anemones, I believe?, that are the size of hockey puck. I'll try to get you a pic.
