Default An anemone tank?

Hi,
RBTA are invading my little 25 gallons reef tank. They split every 3 to 5 months and it's a problem; they kill corals and take too much space.

Looks like I can't sell them up here in Yellowknife so I am thinking about moving the corals into an other tank and keep only anemones in the other tank.
I have been looking for information about tanks with only anemones but all I found is something about a guy who keep RBTA in a 65 gallons tank.

-What about keeping a few species in the same tank?
-Can I crowd them or will they need lots of room between each? right now, my RBTA likes to hang together in the same spot. Will it be the same it there is different species in there?

Thanks for your advices!

Don't tell me you are looking for RBTA?

Hi,
Are those RBTA that rare?

I would love to share them with others. I only have 3 of them at home and a few more at work but I know they are gonna split again soon.
I am a little scare about shipping that far. You see, someone stupid decided to make shipping a little different up north. Fedex, UPS, Purolator and Canada Post do not have to respect shipping time. They say it's because we are too far! That's crap! I could get a one day shipping from Vancouver to Halifax but not from Yellowknife to Edmonton! There is direct fly from here to Edmonton, Calgary and Saskatoon every freaking hours!

Right now, Canadian North is the best way for me to ship but only to Edmonton and Calgary (and it cost a little )
I have been looking for a way to ship stuff from here and right now, the best way would be Canada Post Priority Mail. It's a 2 day shipping from here. I am about to give it a try with some hardy species (don't know which one yet).

Because of all that crap with shipping, I am always stuck with my stuff!

If there is anyone managing any of those transportation companies on this forum: I hate you (with passion)

An anemone only tank is certainly do-able, but many people don't recommend mixing types as they can fight. It's risky. If you have all of the same RBTAs (clones of one "parent" like you allready have) they will not fight. It would be neat to have a dedicated clown and anemone tank!
