Tube anemone

[Hens4Fish]

Ok, so I am thinking of getting a purple tube anemone from my LFS. First off, how hardy are they? Secondly, do they eat fish? I have a 75, with about 4 fish in there, one being a 2" queen angel. I dont want to come home to it being eaten. Also have a pair of mating clowns. So are they hardy, do they eat fish, and how much are they? He wants $54 for it. Any help is good.
Thanks,
Bill

From what I've read they are not photosynthetic need to be in lower light levels and will need to be fed regularly.

I have found that too, but wanted to know if they can glow in the dark. Seems like they dont just eat fish.

Mine never ate any fish and I had it in a 28g I feed the tank with oyster feast he seemed to like that... i put mine in the sand bed but you can also put them in the rock work just don't pinch it.They only really opened up at night then rest of the time you will forget its there.... I have moonlights in my tank so it looked really sweet at night. Oh they only glow when the tentacles get stimulated i think... Hope that helped.. I paid about 50 for mine as well

Generally described as hardy, needs to be fed regularly with small foods such as mysis, and they do not eat fish.

I've had my tube anemone for 2 months. It usually grabs flakes, pellets, and mysis shrimp. Occassionally, I'll put a chunk of mysis in its mouth and it eats the whole thing. Its tentacles are out all day/all night. Seems pretty happy.
