IME, tube anemones won't eat your fish, definitely not more than a hosting anemone will. My tube anemone sucks back down into it's tube whenever anything bigger than mysis shrimp gets near it. He certainly hasn't eaten the chromis that is currently in my tank, and after I build my sump, I'll be removing him and putting in some barnacle blennies with no fear of them being eaten. I think you're safe with putting just about any fish in the tank with your tube anemone, as long as your tank is appropriate for the fish you put in there.

I used to have tube Nem, very hardy. I never feed it with any thing. It'll do well under low current and light. Keep other coral far far away from it. It seems like any thing it touch, will dye.

no, it never eat my fishes.

I have never lost a fish to them, but they do have a strong sting. You have to be careful because they can get big and their tentacles will reach pretty far in the current. Additionally, they need a deep sand bed to be happy.

I have 4 in my tanks, even with tiny fish.
Never had a problem.

Arent they NPS? Don't they need supplemental feedings? I'm still very confused as to whether a tube anemone is an anemone or a NPS coral.
