rock flower anemone

[Diver4life]

Does any1 have or had this kind of anemone? if yes what are the specific needs for them? and how they behave? I was thinking to catch some of them and put them in my tank. also in our reefs here we have condy anemones but i heard that will kill fish so im looking to get the rock flowers if they are safe . need some advice . thanks..

Anemones all would eat a fish if they could hold it. a flower is pretty similar to a condy(other than looks) they'll love you if you feed them once in a while, and they're both pretty hardy from my exp, and I do currently have both. Unless a fish is sick, they won't have too much trouble getting away from either one. And fish have a natural instinct to stay away from an anemone. hope that helps.

so you have both?cool i can feed them once in a while, but my concerns was about the safety of my livestocks. I like the condy so you think i can add both in a 75 gals tank? also i have about 7 shrimps that i dont want to lose.

I read some place that red legged hermits will prey on them. I have 12 scarlet hermits, are they the same as red legged? or different species?

I wouldn't worry about the shrimp at all. red legs are mexican if i recall, they are mainly brown with a bit of red, scarlets are beautiful and bright red. and I had both in a 20, but just moved back to my brother's place. Now they happily reside in a 55.

I have a flower and a condy in a 55 gal and have not had a problem. I also have 4 peppermint shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp and the hermits and have never had a problem. Although I will admit that I get nervous every time the hermit gets too close.
