Fighting Corals

[BC564]

Sorry....I got a bit off topic....Id leave the anemone some room to move because it is going to move to the lighting it wants...it hasnt hurt any of my corals I have in the tank and moves around things....

The folks at WetWebMedia seems to be fairly insistent that it's generally not a good idea to mix any motile anemone with other sessile stinging cnidarians (coral). Most will kill or be killed in the long run.

Of course, all kinds of people have experience to support the opposite. Just a thought!

yes I do agree....I got this anemone as a hitchhiker on some live rock....He has been in my tank for about 3 months now and all has been fine so far. Granted he is only about the size of a silver dollar.

heh - the folks at WetWebMedia also seem to be insistent on basically telling anyone who writes in that they are an inferior human and should be urinated on by staff members until the give up and turn to raising crickets in a greenhouse...

that's just my opinion on their letters though, I might be wrong

but I'm sure its worded in the nicest possible way....

They DO have good advice, I'm not saying anything bad about that - but I think they're a little hard on most people - I'll continue reading their stuff and heeding a lot of what they give, but... yeah.

andsoitgoes...hah! very true. they're very knowledgeable, but also seem to be insulting and belittling at times.

Here's a pic I just took of our 120g. An RBTA and a GBTA are on the left side with no corals beside them. Lower down are zoos, palys, shrooms. The right side is reserved for mainly lps and sps corals, with some zoos and shrooms on the bottom rocks.
