Kenya and the Nem

[Megaloptera]

My Brown Bubble tip is getting larger than expected in my 30 gallon. Its body is about the size of my palm and the tentacles are about 8" long. I really like it but it is hitting my Kenya tree and it is staying closed. If I change the current it will hit the other soft corals and interfere with them. Any thoughts or advice? Is their another nem that has shorter tentacles that would look great in a nano? Thanks.

Thanks, The upgrade is out of the question. This is my first reef and its actually a down-grade from a 55 bought off of craigslist. I traded everything that wouldn't fit to my LFS for the soft corals. The anemone came from the craigslist tank. I like it, yet am not too attached. I will look into the other nems mentioned. Thanks.

"Lives are at stake" Will the nem pester the corals to death?

the nem will sting anything it touches...so yes, it will pester (or kill) the surrounding corals it can reach...
