mangroves and anemones

[ohdanny]

hello r2r, I have a question about mangroves and anemones together. I am thinking about growing mangroves behind my big anemone but I am afraid the anemone will sting the mangroves to death. not sure if the anemone will have an affect on mangroves. please share your opinions. thanks

I shouldn't think that they would. I can remember finding anemones (Condylactis?) in Key West in mangrove/turtlegrass environments, and if those guys were stinging plants, they'd have run out of nematocysts right quick . . .

(I'm no nem pro, though...)
