you can drip acclimate in a 5g bucket, just float bag in tank for 15-20min to equalize temp then transfer nem and water to bucket and start a slow drip using air tubing and a plastic valve.
do 2-3 drops every 10 secs. and when the bucket fills up transfer the nem and discard the water.
add tulip anemones and mini carpet anemones very easy to keep extremely hardy(very forgiving) and will split, small in size.
the only host anemone i can recommend with out feeling guilty is a captive grown clone BTA.
foods-mysis, cyclopeeze, articpods, ocean nutritions brine shrimp plus frozen and prime reef frozen, clam and squid, silverside, krill. those are the most commonly accepted foods. and have selcon and vita-chem marine on hand to fortify foods.
most nems depends need fed every day to every three days, if you are trying to control growth then feed them less until they stop getting bigger.
and ive noticed anemones are more sensitive to phosphates and silicates than to nitrates. and extremely sensitive to heavy metals. so ro/di water is best along with a phos reactor with rowaphos media.
and temp on most nems needs to be between 78-81F
