bubble tips and other fish

[jon1985]

So my gold strip maroons finally took to my bubble tips. I put 2 in as a test to see if they will bounce around. The reason for this is because they tend to be hard on the anemone. Well luckey me they dont seem to prefere one over the other. My plan is to add several more btas to the tank to keep them moving so they dont love 1 to death.

I dont plan to have alot of other corals in the tank and only 3 or 4 other fish. My question is, with all the bubble tips will other fish be stressed or will they care?

The tank is 100 gallon (40"x24"x24"), has a 40gallon breeder for a sump, with a skimmer rated for 280 gallons. So water quality shouldnt be an issue.

What other fish are you worried about being stressed out? I've had 5-6 BTA's in a 58 gallon, and the other fish (besides clowns) didn't seem to care. However, if you end up having an anemone dominated tank, it's a bit of a mine-field for other inhabitants. Most fish can avoid anemones and get away it a stray tentacle touches them, but in their bolting from one nem, they may run head-long into the next.

Overall, I don't see it being a big problem, as long as you don't have a crazy number of anemones.
