Gigantea and Haddoni in same reef?

[JasonD]

Hi I have a 120 gallon reef with two Haddoni Anemones in it. My question is can you put a Gigantea in there without fighting? I was thinking since they are from the same family that they wouldn't sting or fight. I was wondering if anyone has any experience on the mixing of the the two types?

Thanks in advance.

I have one haddoni and one gigantea in a 120. The gigantea was added 8 months ago. It was bleached when I got it. It's color has greatly improved, but it has lost mass. Probably because it was bleached. It eats well, and seems to be gaining mass again. The haddoni is its normal, snail eating, self.
I am a firm believer in chemical warfare between anemones. It seems to be working out in my system between these two species, but that doesn't mean it will work in yours. I do run a lot of carbon and I do large water changes.
There was one odd thing. My haddoni had not moved in years. The day I added the gigantea, the haddoni took off. Within hours, the haddoni was right next to the gigantea. Almost touching. I moved the haddoni back, and he hasn't moved again??????

Thanks for your feedback I figured since they are closely related there wouldn't b a problem. Looks like there could b I will consider the input of chemical warfare before I attempt it.

That and they require completly different care in respect to water flow and lighting.

I know about the different environments. I think the hardest to overcome is the flow. My Haddonies don't like anything above medium current. As far as light I t

[/PHP]hink that is less of an issue since my Haddonies seem to handle my 250 Hamiltons ok.
