Anemone keeping?

[Gazbo]

I had two anemones recently split and thought I had new homes for them today but fell through they are bagged and floating in my sump it might be a couple days before they can be picked up and what is the safest way to keep these guys healthy until they are picked up? Thought I might put them in the sump but light is on 24-7 and only a cheap clear led light that don't think its enough but might be for a few days. Don't want to put them back in the DT tank with fear of hurting something else or hiding in a place I can't get to.

Should be good for a couple days.
I had to put one in my sump while waiting for someone to pick it up. I did put it in a plastic container, which contained the anemone and kept it from attaching to something in the sump.
My only light was the light for macro.

Sump is better than the display will be the consensus here. Dont leave them in the bags though.

What kind of anemone?

What kind of anemone?

One's a type of bubble tip and the other is maybe some kind of condy

How well do they do in a co species tank? you might want separate tupperware for them if they are separate species.

Thanks for the help I put them in there own tubberware containers and holding in the sump.

If its going to be more than 3 days, I would go to Petsmart or someplace like that and buy some breeder containers for live bearing freshwater fish....like this:

Amazon.com: fish breeder net


Inexpensive, easy, and under lighting......

Definitly don't keep them in bags.... I put mine in my sump for weeks lol, I was hoping someone would come pick him up and never did. Finally I gave him to my friend.
i just let him sit down there in the FUGE section and he was good. I had a LED flood light thing and he liked it. kinda weird but it worked for weeks

no bags until he comes and picks them up
