I think the anemone is making my decision on whether to keep it or not easier though. The stupid thing has limited what I can keep in the tank and now its eaten my favorite fish...

Ohhhh man! that's rotten... Nem comes OUT!

Sorry to hear

I've never lost a fish to a gigantea so I'm surprised to hear it .. maybe the fact that it's a smaller tank is a concern when attempting a mixed setup. Yeah, sounds like you'd be happier finding the 'nem a new home. Good luck.

Anyone have any ideas of what I could replace the anemone with?

I have a Toadstool leather that 2 clowns host in, thats an option. My Long tenacle Anemone in the other tank has made snacks of a Tuxedo Urchin(maybe) and Sea hare(for sure). But left my Goby, Blenny, and other fish alone.

If I get rid of the anemone, I might just try something like a Colt coral and see if they like it.

I don't know though...as sad as I feel about the blenny and mad, I don't want to get rid of the anemone! If I keep it then I will never add more fish while it's in there. I don't think that would be very responsible. I might even try to get the new sixline out if I keep the anemone. Just keep the clowns since they won't get eaten.

Banggai cardinal's are alright with Anemone's as well. When I first got my benggai, he hosted in the anemone for 3-4 months, till the clown's started and evicted him. I was initialy shocked, thinking he was going to get eaten, but nope
