rock flower anenome-a good choice?

[salty joe]

I'm thinking about getting a flower anemone, but not sure if they tend to wander around killing coral frags. Also, do certain crabs or any other creatures take up residence in them?

They don’t wander much. If at all. Here’s a great thread on them

Mine have all stayed where I put them.

While flower Anemone can wander about, they are not as bad as bubble tip Anemone. I have never had one to sting corals. Nothing that I know of host in this anemone.

Ours moved an inch. The porcelain crab that it hosts is adorable! You should try it. Very easy...feeding response is cool. Really beautiful little creatures.

Greta anemones to have. Mine never wander have had the for around 8 months. Neverr had issues with them harming anything in the tank. Porcelin crabs and sexy shrimp aka thor shrimp host them. Have not had the opportunity of picking up porcelin crabs or sexy shrimp yet.

What kind of shrimp is that?

Btw that crab is not praying to the reef God's, they have really neat little nets that filter for food. Ours is starting to like being fed by hand.

Unless I'm mistaken it's a sexy shrimp

Have never seen one like that. Usually red with white dots and stripes leading up to tail. Looks nice none the less
