I am not a die hard anemone keepers Hater.

But is definate something that needs some thought and shouldn't just go out on a whim and buy one......

If everyone took the attitude that all clownfish need an anemone, then all of the tank raised clownfish that companies are breeding ( thousands and thousands ) would need an anemone. However, you can't get an anemone to split at will in the quantities the would be demanded therefore you would be taking out of the wild many more anemones and wild clowns populations would certainly suffer.......

If you don't already have the Clownfishes book by Joyce Wilkerson then put it on your Christmas wish list. It's quite an interesting book ......
