      Bubble-Tip Anemone Propagation Tank

      Hello all,
      I have setup a 5 gallon nanocube in the hopes of exclusively propagating bubble-tip anemones. Is there a recommended material for them to attach themselves to, one that would be easy to remove them from? Do you recommend putting any fish in the tank, and if so, what fish would you guys recommend? Should I put in a sand bed? Since it is a small tank, I'm just using the filter pump in terms of flow.


      Thanks for your time

      Your going to need bigger tank. But very easy to propagation you can let them split natural or cut them with sharp razor across the mouth.

      way too small of a tank like nano reef says above I have several bulbs that are 10 inches and some that are 15 inches across. Min recommended size tank is 30 gallons but that is really still too small

      Ok, but do you guys have any suggestions concerning material for the anemones to attach themselves and sand beds? I'll use a 29 gallon tank instead

      They don't attach to sand, they like rocks or just plain glass so they are easier to move. Bulbs never sit in the sand, they attach to rocks, glass or even other corals, only reason for sand would be for the look but Id lean towards crushed coral for a similar look and some buffering aspect
