Condy Dangerously Close to Zoos

[icepick5587]

I'm still new to anemones . Is this bad for either of them? and if so, what should I do?

Worst case scenario is that it's bad for both of them. You might want to put a barrier between them or move the zoos. You could move the anemone, but it might go right back where you don't want it to be.

How much damage are we talkin about?

 

[Wolverine]

I'm not a big fan of condies, so for this particular situation, I have no experience, so I'm only talking about potential. I've seen zoos "attack" and kill anemones. I've seen anemones go on the offensive and wipe out zoos (my BTA killed a cluster of them in my tank). I've seen them go to battle and have both the zoos and the anemone die off. I've also seen them coexist with no problems.

So, in summary, the full potential spectrum runs from "no problem" to "everything dies".
In that situation, I like to assume the worst and prepare accordingly.

I have a condy and it has blown through a colony of zoos I once had. They have one heck of a sting. I would see if you can relocate the zoos. The Condy might wonder back again to that spot if you were to move he/she instead.
