    Sorry to say, one of the two has to move, or you will have a fight on your hand. And if I am correct zoa's have toxins

    Yes, better to move the zo's than the anemone, besides you run the risk of damage to the anemone as well as the fact that the anemones can move, zo's can't unless through asexual reproduction.!!!!
    The anemone will win in the toxic warefare against zo's and many other corals, so be forwarned.

    Thanks, I will move zoa's. Three months ago I wished the anemone was bigger. The thing is growing like a weed now. I am not sure I like it so much now. It is beautiul. I will send a photo midday when it realy opens up.
