Gotta admit, after seeing the carpets and rock anemone's in Billy's tank last night they are kind of growing on me....be a while before I'd try something like that, but nice pickup!!

This is our first Sabae.... These are considered the most difficult anemone to host.

Reasons:
* They grow to be over 12" in diameter
* Must be fed everyday
* High lighting needs - MH
* Tank must be over 1 year old
* Stable parameters a must
* Must be hosted in a large tank - 90g plus recommended

Correction on the new "Sabae" anemone. After a long night of research we found out that this is actually a Heteractis aurora or Beaded Anemone as it is commonly referred to. It is in the same family as the Sabae (Heteractis crispa) and has the same needs with the exception that you only have to feed it every other day.

That elegance looks great!

When that Elegance gets used to the new environment it is going to be a beautiful piece! To me the aussie Elegance is by far the most fantastic Large Polyp Stoney out there. Back in the day, I had one for several years, it was always my favorite. The only thing about the Elegance is it has a powerful sting and will make a meal of anything that gets to close, they require lots of room for expansion. That one will probably be at least twice that size when fully expanded, I am jealous but can't have that in a nano, not enough room. That 120g is lookin better all the time :>)
