    Anemones need to sting in order to recieve and catch food. So, no.

    LMAO ;D Yeah, as others have said, that's sort of what they do. Some may have less of a sting though. A lot of corallimorphs look like anemones and don't have powerful stings.

    Anemones require very strong lighting. Similar to that of SPS and Clams. Plus they grow very fast and move around. Not really a invert you might want to have in a nano

    Alright, again no surprises here lol, thats what I thought, but you never know for sure unless you ask. I have 3 types of zoas 1 trumpet/ candy cane/ one kenya tree/ 2 types of green star polyps, and green mushrooms any suggestions for something aside from the green star polyps that might provide some more "movement" in the tank and by that I mean visually pleasing movement? lol I am also adding another zoa frag soon as I find the color I like

    There are artificial nems that look real enough to fool clownfish.

    Just a thought. :)

    Hell yeah. I didn't even think of those. But you're right and actually some of the higher dollar models fool some people.
    Good call.
