Vale a pena ter uma dessa p\ os ocellares ?

Ocellaris entra em LT, mas pelo que eu sei ela é uma anêmona meio bipolar, isso por relatos, nunca tive..

ai eh f.....

Tive uma por 4 anos, no meu caso, como o casal de Clarkiis dominaram ela, os ocelaris nunca tentaram entrar, mesmo porque, se tentassem .


Anemona muito bonita, cresce bem, é tranquila, anda pouco ou quase nada, quando resolve se esticar, fica muito grande, aceita alimentação.

Só não colocaria de novo porque to sem espaço rsss

pena que não se divide

Isso eh verdade ELder ....

ela eh + resistente q a sebea ?!

é sim.... eu só não comprei dessa por dois motivos:

- não divide

- pode entrar em guerra química com as minhas bbt, e como diz o ditado "time que está ganhando não se mexe", eu fico só na vontade mesmo

Achei bem interessante esse artigo a respeito dessa anemona:
