    Yes they can capture, sting and kill fish.

    both of my condy have grown to a good size but i feed them fresh shrimp from the supermarket and my gramma sets behind it sometimes. The thing with condy though is they do move sometimes both mine decided to move on the same day.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    If you have adequate lighting and stable tank parameters, you do not have to get rid of it IMO.

    Unless it is in a very small tank and the risk of fish coming to close if high.

    They are an easy anemone for a beginner. If you are keeping expensive fish then yes I might get rid of it, but if not give it a go if you can properly provide for it and have done your research.

    the only fish that is about the same size as its mouth is my blue hippo and one of my clowns and its a 75 gallon tank so maybe they will keep their distance and thanks for the advice on when to feed him dont want him to overtake my tank
