Death kept catching the fish at night.......Im sure they would swim and forget that death was in there ...just around the next rock.....

I bought a purple tube anemone about 6 months ago. When i first got it I dug a depression in the sand and placed him into it and covered it over with sand I then placed a rock on either side of it to make a "cave" so he cannot move around the tank. When fully extended his tentacles can reach about a 6-7 inch radius. I did understand that it could sting and kill corals and possibly kill fish but so far I have lost nothing.. I turn off my water flow when feeding the fish and target the anemone with food, he readily takes flake food, arcti pods, brine shrimp etc and is amazing to watch when feeding. So far I am happy with my purchase because he is a beautiful addition to my tank.

For me it was a file fish not knowing they eat sps, before that it was a purple dotty before that a coral beauty after all those a striped rabbit fish that went apeshiets on my zoas and donuts sigh.

Live and learn..... If the whip of death reigned havoc on your reef why not get rid of it sometimes it's better to remove 1 thing than letting it stay to kill off many things IMO.
