Heterodactyla Hemprichii (pics)

Hi all

I have just joined and I have a question...

I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this fairly uncommon anemone. ANY info would be appreciated!! I have one in my tank and so far it seems to be doing very well, I noticed yesterday that one of my sexy shrimp was even hosting in it. I was a little worried it would eat it as it's the "stickiest" anemone I've encountered and LOVES food but so far so good. Here are some pics of mine. (Just a baby!! He's hanging out on the tupperware which is good as I'd like to move him to the 120g eventually)

A pic of it eating:
(and making faces)

Don't know much about them, but a quick google search said that they are not a hosting anemone, but it isn't uncommon for them to host a sexy shrimp.

I had one it stayed pretty small but was a prolific splitter about once a month, `i never fed it directly and my sexy shrimp liked hanging out in it. got rid of it in the enad and gave one or two clones away to the lfs. no one really wanted them.

Did it sting your corals?

I don't want it to host my clowns so that's fine.

Thank you for responding.

Gahhh... He's on the move... hope he doesn't leave too many casualties in his wake!
