anemone question

[Fishy Poopie]

Hi, just wondering if it will be ok to have more than 1 anemone in a JBJ nano cube 28 gl. I currently have a gbta but wanted to add a LT or a Haitian anemone. I saw a nice one at the LFS and wondering if it would be safe.

Thanks

No, definitely not okay to add another species in that small of a tank.

will they kill each other?

You could get a Rose bta but between the 2 of them they would probably take over your tank within 6 months or so. They can become fairly large.

They might eventually kill each other and would likely slowly poison one another in such a small tank.

hmmm. i was hopeing i can atleast add another bta in there for a perc. I haven't added the perc yet since I have an anemone crab and its sitting on the bta at the moment. Will there be a problem if I add a clown fish now while the crab is already in the bta? Hoping they won't fish over the bta

I've heard of both a porcelain crab and a clown living harmoniously in one anemone. You can have two BTA's in the same tank, they often live in bunches in the wild and do not seem to harm one another in any way.
