    Hey All,

    I am just wondering if my Sebae Anemone could damage my other polyp and mushroom corals in my tank. I want to stay in one spot but it doesn't seem to like that spot and wants to be down in the sand and I'm just afraid with it moving around all over the place it might grab one of my peppermint shrimp or damage my other coral along the way. Should be worried?

    Also, on another random note- I bought two cinnamon clowns and have one false perc. and am afraid those three may not get along so well. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    ;D;D;D

    anemone might not eat shrimp but may damage coral. I had a condy and a candy fight and condy lost. I don't know who might be victor but somtimes they fight. So far my seabea is ontop of a zoanthid button polyp and has not killed it or no adverse affects but that is not to say that you will have same luck vs. mushroom or something else.

    An anemone has the ability to sting/kill ANY living creature in your tank, including all corals. The shrimp I wouldnt worry about too much though (advantages of having an exoskeleton). But they can grab ahold of fish.

    the sebae is a sand dwelling amenome and once they find a good spot they typically stay. A moving sebae tends to mean inadequate lighting most of the time. How is your lighting. ok nevermind I just read your sig. Put the sebae on bottom and turn your pumps off for a couple of hours and the anemone will usually burrow down in the sand.
