    I have a pink tipped anemone in my 35 gallon hexagon aquarium and I'd really like to get a sebae anemone too. Do you think this is a good idea? I don't want them competing for space.

    usually having 2 species isnt advised. now if you had 2 bubble tips or something it might be alright.
    a 35 hex doesnt have much real estate space for nems and two different species will likely run into each other at some point. if that happens it could wipe that tank out.

    +1 a 35g hex doesn't have enough room for both to exist peacefully.
