From what I understand, the two LTA's will be fine in the same tank, and the RBTA *might* be okay, too, but anemone's of different species have a tendency to sting each other and release toxins into the water to try to shoo the other one away.

Plenty of people have had success having multiple species of nem in one tank, but I think most people would recommend that you give them all plenty of space.

Well, i have a rbta with the lta right now. Nothing seem to bother them. Thing is can i put them side by side, not just in the same tank.

I would think that if you put them RIGHT next to each other, you'd end up with them stinging each other, or one or the other of them simply moving away...thing about anemones is they are more than capable of getting up and wandering off if something is bugging them.

so i cant put the green lta right next to my purpe lta as well?

Meaning if they are the same species, they won't attack each other.
