Well I want to deck my tank out in mostly all anemones. Can all anemones get along? I just dont want to be getting different types and they kill each other off. Im looking at, Long purple anemones, Rose bowls, and maybe a couple green tipped btas.
 
Well there is a lot of controversy around the idea of biological warfare between different species of anemones in the same tank. Some believe that anemones can sense the presence of another species and release stinging pores into the water to kill or ward of the intruding anemone, obviously having negative effects on all the inhabitants in the tank. Some people haven't had any issues while some have. Depends on the specimens I guess. But for a 29 gallon I wouldn't recommend it. If it were up to me I'd get a few BTA's, maybe some rose and greens and let them take over the tank. They are pretty simple to take care of and are known to split pretty easily creating a large population in the tank.
