Host Sea Anemone Survivability Survey

By Stan & Debbie Hauter, About.com Guides

As stated earlier, this study did not produce a "silver bullets" for anemone survival in an aquarium. There were, however some distinct indicators as to what anemones seem to prefer.

Taking into account all of the factors and survey results, if one was going to attempt to keep an anemone long term, the following parameters would appear to be the best:

1. Natural Sea Water
2. Salinity of 1.026
3. Feed once per day
4. 11 hours per day lighting
5. Tank water at 86° F.
