hi,
I had a tank back in the 80`s that wasnt a reef tank (special lighting)
BUT--- I managed to keep a beautiful Purple tube anemone for years in it. It
seemed to thrive and do fine with the brine shrimp and clam pieces I fed it.
I want to start a new marine aquarium w/o the hi-tech lighting. I cant
afford it. But I would like to have a nice tube anenome like the old days.
Did I just luck out years ago----or are these tube anenomes heartier than
others and formidable in a regular fish-only tank?
thanks for your help.


The thing about tube anemones is that they are not photosynthic so they
do not need great lighting, they just need to be feed.
