What are these called and are they easy to keep (I've also seen them in red)?
Do puffers eat them?

Looks like a zoanthid. I have a few in various colours in my GSP tank - they do not touch them.

Do you have special lighting?bigfatfish wrote:Looks like a zoanthid. I have a few in various colours in my GSP tank - they do not touch them.
Do you think my 38w T8 would be enough?

I'm afraid I am only a beginner too! My zoas came with the liverock. The lighting I have is 2 x T5 with reflectors & 2 x marine moonlight T5 with reflectors.

I answered that Q in PM. They will not fair well under regular fluorescent lighting. You'd need at least power compact lighting to keep them.

Hey guys
Thanks for all the info
I was just wondering are ANENOME's and Tube Worms also easy to keep in the Tank Setup? I'm looking to get a blue Marine tube to go along with the White one I have.
Thx again

Nems need a well-established, stable system with strong lighting. I've never had any luck with tube worms of any kind. They are filter feeders.

T5 high output, T5 Very High Output or Metal Halide if you want to keep a very healthy Anemone, it can be done with very good PCs but I think at that point it'll be cheaper to get the T5's; and have at least a 30 gallon tank for the Nem; any smaller and they will completely take over that tank.
Mushrooms are a type of Anemone and keep well under PC or T5s, but if you're just beinning start with Shrooms, Zoas, and leathers until you master keeping your parameters level before you graduate.
