Anemones and Acropora

[386reeftrader]

Any hobbyist out there with SPS dominant tanks keeping nems? I feel like it’s usually one or the other for most since they tend to not mix well in most tanks. Wanting to see some SPS tanks with nems as another focal point.

Here are my Gigs in a standard 75gal Acropora dominant tank.

That’s a very nice blue gig. I’m certainly jealous of it.

I have several large anemones in my sps/mixed reef including a gig, a mag…and two Haddonis.

Awesome tank! Love where your Gig has anchored itself. I’m planning an upgrade in the future and trying to decide if I want to keep the nems in the main display or have a separate system for them.

Would love to get my hands on a Mag at some point.

I was a gig, mag and carpet guy, but I had to stop keeping them in acropora tanks. They would stay put for a long time and then all of a sudden walk all over my new, nice frags or even one of my clams. of course, they seemed to walk and settle on the most expensive acros.

They can exist in the same tank if the nems will stay put or you plan other ways to move the acros if they nems decide to migrate... like on baseball sized chunks of rock that you can put in other places.
