gigantea anemones..........fish eaters?

[fishkid6692]

my LFS got a few in and one of them looks pretty good. it's eating too. but if i got it ot would go into my 180g and i have some fish that are very important to me. are they known fish eaters like haddoni? will it be a big risk? thanks.

They'll eat fish. Some people argue that haddoni's are more likely to eat fish, but there are a lot more haddoni being kept by aquarists. Having clownfish that call the anemone home will help keep other fish away from the gigantea a bit.

yep they will eat fish eventually. Small fish like wrasse and goby is a major risk. Some even eat tangs.

a maroon clown pair and no fish is touching that anemone

i would mainly be worried about my centropyge, basslet,goby, anthias. i would get a pair of clowns for it but is there still a big risk? anyway to help lower chances?

 

[fishkid6692]

i guess i'll just keep it in my cube if anything.

I would steer clear of anything that could possibly endanger that beauty in your avatar, even if it's a very small chance...that fish is too amazing to risk!

if the fish is present b4 the nem you will be fine still a risk with an expensive fish

I cant remember ever losing a fish to any of my giganteas. Not saying that it cant happen, but not as likely as it can be with haddoni IMO/IME
