Answer
Hey James

Peppermints should leave your future anemone alone. A product called Joes Juice is a good aiptasia remover and you just squirt it in the aiptasias mouth. It would be good to get some more lighting, i would get a 2x65w PC. theyre only $100ish on ebay. You are right, a good starter anemone would be a bubble tip. I would get a green bubble tip anemone, they are more forgiving and good for beginners. it most likely will move under your metal halide
