Do you have a refugium?

(If not, why not? :-))

:-)

I do not have a refugium... Why not? Maybe lack of room?

I have some macro algae growing in the sump (chaeto)
but the sump is just a simple 10 gallon tank, so the anemone
put there would be quickly grinded by the QuietOne 3000
return pump...

I have a BakPak refugium/skimmer combo. Needs about 8" behind the tank.
Works well, and gives me a good temporary place for things.

My tank stands next to the wall with less than 4" clearance...

In terms of preparation an anemone for future sale I am not sure
if refugium changes anything here - nothing stops an anemone
to move from this small rock to a refugium wall corner and you
will be still not able to take it out easily when the buyed visits you.

Can you try selling it to a fish store? Maybe they'll at least give
you store credit.
