Beautiful tube anemones. I had a few in my 55 a long time ago, but I haven't seen them locally in years.

Tube nems have never bothered any fish, I did a lot of research, and they do not kill fish. They are away from any corals, so cant comment on that. I doubt that the butterflies would eat them my queen has tried to steal food from them, and got a sting that made him think twice. Not deadly or anything just like a bee sting for us, I would imagine. They never move, but you do need sand substrate to have them thrive. I dot really focus feed them either, they just catch any extra food. Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Here is another pic of my new urchin....

Nice nems!!! I thought I had read an article a long time ago about them packing a pretty good sting, I think it was trop. fish hobbiest so who knows how accurate that was.... Also that urchin is insane. Almost looks like he's photoshopped into the pic

My camera is on saturation mode because otherwise the flash bleaches him. that is the exact color he is in my tank. The nems have stung my queen, but never to bother her much. I have handled them and had the tentacles on my fingers a few times and never felt anything.
