Yay hes getting better finally!! These anemones seem to come in so many different color variations, I wish there was somewhere you could buy these guys, they are awesome.
And yes I know they are atlantic anemones and pose a risk of hurting other inhabitants, but they seem to be scared to death of everything, even my cleaner shrimp, so definately not the most agressive anemones.

Yeah I dont think theyre posing a threat to any of the tank inhabitants. He has amazing color, and I like that he is pretty small. Im not too intimidated by him

First, all anemones shy from cleaner shrimp. Cleaner shrimp, although beautiful and really cool(I have one in each of my tanks), are not afraid of anems and will actually steal food out of a BTA's mouth upwards of four hours after feeding...that's probably why you see them shy away from cleaners.
Second, beautiful anem...many of them that come from the Atl waters are ugly and brown. Great photos by the way. Although they may pose a threat to other inhabitants, any anem does this. Besides it looks on the smaller side, do you know what size these guys get? If it stays that size, you would really only have to worry about pipefish, little gobies, and other small creatures. I don't see that guy swallowing a tang. When you catch them, do you wear gloves? If not, how powerful is their sting?
All I can say is that I sense a species-only tank in your future.

I don't think they get that big, but unfortunately I can't find any information about these guys. I have no clue what their exact species is. The biggest one I have and I have seen is about 1 - 1 1/2" across.
They dont seem to be agressive too anything, so that is good. I have never been stung by an anemone, I have never used gloves either. I have touched all of my anemones, and not one has ever stung me.
At the moment I only have a bicolor blenny, and he touches them here and there, including my condi, and none of them seem to pay any attention to him.
If you know anyone who has any extra knowledge of atlantic anemones, let me know I would really like to find out an exact species name.
