Anemones, It's a Love- Hate Relationship

[PrevieAriz]

So I have 3 in my 75 gallon tank- s BTA, a long tentacle, and a purple tip. They are so awesome! I love feeding them and watching them grow. I love looking into my tank and being surprised where they are each morning. Then, just when you think they are happy and found the perfect spot, bam, you look and they moved! Love them.

What I HATE, is counting my poor fish and finding they have vanished! No where to be seen, not even a little fishy ghost! I know that is what happens and there is no way to prevent it. I am also happy that, so far, they have chosen to snack on my cheaper Petco fish! Lol. Also gives me an excuse to buy more, different species. I was very careful when I selected the fish in my tank, however. It is a peaceful tank and I want to keep it that way.

Except for those dang thug anemones!! Lol

Ugh. Yep. They will do that...

I really didn't even consider it. My hermits have no issues, my fish all avoid the nems.. But two days in my tank was too long the coral banded

I like anems but I've decided that I can only deal rock flowers and tubes. The carpet in my avatar was great... for a couple months. lol

Edit: I should update my pic

Are you sure it didn't just grab ahold of a molt? I've been fooled into thinking my coral banded was dead more than once. He hides for a couple of days after each molt.

I've only had him two days, but I had two and now see none. It's possible but I have a feeling one is hiding and the other was dinner

I have a lone coral in my 75 gallon. I got it with my arc eye Hawkfish because he enjoys resting on it. I was going to move it, but it is attached to the rock on one side and Jeremy ( my Hawkfish) attacked my hand so j left it for him.

I bought 3 banggai Cardinalfish to replace my lost ones. Down to 1 only 4 days later. Freaking anemones.
