flower anemone

[wilmonkey5]

i have a gold striped maroon, lawn mower blenny, and a skunk cleaner in my tank and i have been wanting to add an anemone (not for the clown) and not having good lighting really narrows down your possible candidates. I've narrowed it down to mini carpets or flower anemone, but i'm planning on getting a flower anemone but i had a question are they known to eat tank inhabitants?

All anemones will eat what ever they can.

They have a very strong grip, so they definitely could eat your mobile critters. With that said, I have kept them for many years, and can't remember losing anything to them.

do you think if i added one my critters would be at risk?

 

[wilmonkey5]

do you think i if i got one i would better survival rate if i have it placed in the sand?

 

[elegance coral]

They don't live in the sand. They like to have their foot stuck in a hole in the rocks.

i knew they liked to be in the rock work but most of the pics i've seen there in the sand bed.
but since you have real experience with them do u think it would be a big threat to the inhabitants??

I had my mini carpets eat my striped blenny just a month ago so it does happen.

I've kept a rock anem for many year, never seen it get anything, never had anything go missing.

My skunk cleaner takes food away from flower anemone.I think he is flirting with death.I have never lost anything to my anemone.
