Some are more aggressive than others, and can grow quite large. What size of tank are you planning with what type and wattage of lights?

For now, it is a 25 gallons with a 150W MH but I can always upgrade a little. Looks like the light is strong enough for the anemones for now.

The anemones I have do not grow too much and are about the size of my hand. This is probably because they don't get too much food. I usually feed them 1 shrimp every 2 a weeks. I have been feeding RBTA like this in 2 tanks for close to 2 years and they do well. I am sure they can take more but they would grow much larger I am sure.

I could simply add new anemones one at the time and always make sure the first are well established and have enough space before to add an other one. If they need more space after a while, I'll give them some space.

What ever the space I have, I would preffer to find some less aggressive species for that system.

A friend on another board has a tank thats just full of RBTA. I dont recal how many are in there, as I think he,s lost count. One happy clown lives in it and for a long time now, a yellow tang. Dont recall the size but its at least a 90g if not larger. I will find the pic when over there.
