Leathers with high end nems

[Bigdaddy05]

When purchasing my Colorado sunburst and and Chicago sunburst (in different systems) I was told that keeping leathers is a no no and even xenia is bad to keep with them. What's others opinions and if u keep leathers or not with ur sunburst nems?

I'm not sure why leather corals would affect anemones, but I sure know that anemones are hell on leather corals.
I have a nice rainbow anemone that takes out leather corals on a regular basis.

Iv never heard of rainbows or black widows having a problem with leathers which I have both of but with these high priced nems I was told by the sellers leathers are a no no

I spoke with a couple people who keep high end anemones and they say it's not a big deal keeping them with leather corals.
I have heard you need to keep them separate from each other and other e quadracolors.

I run into the same situation with a Chicago sunburst and a Japanese toadstool.The Sunburst developed a bacteria infection over time and split into 3s.I treated the Sunburst with Cipro in a separate tank.They have recovered but lost color for the time being.I didn't know about the toadstool when i added the anemone.

Hopefully others on here will share their experience and input I was told by both sellers of my sunbursts yo absolutely not keep them in systems with leathers but I find I have more leathers then other coral (due to ease of care)and a nem only tank to me is boring

No i don't know for sure what happened but i took out the toadstool just to be on the safe side
