Anemone suggestions?

Gold Stripe

New member
I have a 40 Breeder with about 100 lbs of LR, 4inch sandbed and 300 watts of VHO lighting. The only corals in the tank are some softies. Mushrooms, Buttons, Zoos, Colt and oter leathers. The only fish are my beautiful pair of Gold Stripe clowns.

The problem is that my 5 inch Female GS is VERY aggressive. She has killed or almost killed any anemone I have tried. She jumps in as soon as it hits the tank and thrashes violently. I have tried keeping her off for 24 hrs until it settles but it doesnt matter. Eventually she kills it.

I have tried BTAs, LTs and even a Ritteri. I had a beautiful 10 inch LTA that was a nice deep brown and super healthy. It took her about a week to tear his foot and he perished.

Any suggestions on what anemone might be tough enough to survive her hosting?

I can remove corals as needed so not concerned about moving. I would rather have the anemone than the corals.

Thanks!
 
A 40 breeder with a 4" sandbed and 100 lbs of rock? I didn't think you could fit 100 pounds of rock in a tank that small let alone with a 4" sandbed. Got a pic of this? Can't be very much water in there.

300 watts VHO too? I need a pic
