Nice way to save your host anemone,
By
This review is from: Host Sea Anemone Secrets (Paperback)
The number of anemones killed on a yearly basis by irresponsible keepers numbers near a million. The reason is simple: people do not know how to take care of their charge. This book trains people on how to feed properly, what conditions their anemone's "prefer" and how to best keep them thriving in tank conditions.Cheaper than an anemone and well worth the read for anyone seriously interested in keeping host anemones.

Too little information for the dollar.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Host Sea Anemone Secrets (Paperback)
I bought this with the hopes that it would reveal some "secrets" about host anemones. It did not. The book basically gave some basic anatomy of host anemones, described the natural environment of them, and talked about diet. Dr. Shimek took the aproach that lighting intensity is of little importance, and if I had not been well informed I might have attempted to keep a bubble tip amemone under Normal Output florescent. Twenty five pages for the price is simply not worth it. This was more like an academic paper than anything.

good info, could use a little bit more,

This review is from: Host Sea Anemone Secrets (Paperback)
This book is loaded with good information on keeping anemones, but could use a little bit more specifics.I bought this book because Ron Shimek is the master of sand beds. He REALLY does know his topic and how to keep a reef. better than any of my local petshop owners! this book is not his best work.. but just being one of his works gets extra ranks. It has plenty of info for anemone keepers and plenty to expand on. Every reef keeper should have one or two of Dr Shimeks books kicking around.
