anemone compatibility with fish only tank

[aquablizz]

Not sure I'm ready to dive into a reef system but would like to introduce a couple anemone's in my 75g fish only display tank along with some feather dusters. I have an Angel fish, yellow tang, hawk fish and tomato clown and 1/2 dozen turbo snails. Water quality is very good and consistant but I'm concerned with the compatibility between the fish and the inverts.

Any thoughts out there??

Yes you can I just would not get a carpet anemone.

Many anemones will work. Carpet anemones are just very predatory.

Since feather dusters are actually worms, will they have a problem with larger fish like angles eating them??

Depends on the angel. I have kept quite a few of the dwarf species with feather dusters. They may nip them, causing them to close, but not eat the worm, and without any lasting harm.

A koran angel is a completely different story. They will eat feather dusters.

Anemones should be fine.
