    I yanked my condy out of my reef tank. I didn't trust it in there. A friend gave it to me and I figured what the heck. I've always been hesitant about anemones and I haved proved to myself that I don't like em'. If I could glue it to something in there it wouldn't be so bad. It is now in my f.o. tank. Great! just what I needed another reef starting.

    I have a bubble tip in mine. What were you worried about?

    It wouldn't stop moving around my tank. I didn't want it stinging my corals or, footing on them.

    I had a Bubble Tip that never moved but just grew bigger and bigger until it's sweepers where taking out most of my SPS. Then it split.

    I'll never have another Anemone

    Anemones have little place with in a reef community system.. Like Jason the only one I'd try is a BTA but mine also got almost as wide as the 6 ft tank it had to be cut up and sold off. They are about the best for staying put.

    I had a bta also. I ran into the same problem as jason. It stayed put but it felt the need to reach out and touch everything.. And most everything it touched died......
