Your clowns will not host in the tube anemone. Even if they tried, it would retract back into its tube. I had a tube anemone for about a year & it didn't kill any fish that I'm aware of.

They say the reputation for eating fish is undeserved. I'll look for the article (by Rob Toonen) where he talks about that.

Anyhow they are mostly a nocturnal animal, if I recall correctly. Your best bet for viewing is at dawn & dusk. I would try to aquascape a cave or overhang in the front of the tank so that it would be shielded from direct light, that will probably help.

Also some good info in this thread at RC:
(some neat ideas about using PVC as a base for those with BB tanks)

thanks for the article. Yeah when I put it in the tank I placed it under an overhang- I guess maybe it was too bright but it seems to have dug itself into the sand behind the rocks. Hopefully as you say as time goes by it will come to the front- Do you guys think I should occasionally move it to the front or just let it be?
