    I was wondering if I could place multiple bubble tip anemones next to each other on the same rock? I think it would be cool to have different color bubble tips next to each other. Will they sting each other?

    They can sting each other or they can release chemicals into the water and "wage war". It might work, but there is some (decently high) level of risk to it. I think it's pretty likely one will kill the other.

    +1 plus the second anemone may not even decide that the area next to the first anemone is the place to be

    ^^ That's what I wanted to do lol.

    That's true. I guess I'll play it safe and keep them separated for now.

    Then it’s a clone of the first one, so it would be fine.
