BB tank w/anemone questions

[clayw]

I have a questions for you BB veterans. I am also posting this in the anemone forum.

What are your thoughts on keeping a carpet anemone in a BB, or any bottom dwelling clams?
Id like to get some answers on this before I set up my new custom 30g. Im planning on putting starboard in the bottom.

Oh and one other problem, I currently have a yasha goby and pistol shrimp pair...they wont do well in a BB huh?

I know that all of the carpets will out grow a 30 gallon tank way to fast. But the only one that I know that would handle a BB tank would be a gig. It like to be on the rocks. But for your other questions clams will do fine in a BB. But your pistol and yasha will not work out. The pistol needs sand to dig in to find food and to make a home.
