    how about waiting till you get more money? you always let your tank get even more established and prepared for an anemone and then just get the right one.?
    as for LFS.. he sold me a tang when he knew i only had a 29g tank.. you can figure out the outcome:-/

    Worst thing I've seen in a Fish store is a woman told a kid he could have a Bamboo Pup in a 29 gal tank. Mind you the pup was already over 12".

    The one that recently went out of business sold me a linkia star and said they are easy to keep and very hardy. Quickly learned that wasnt true. I did learn a good lesson though, research before you buy.
