i adopted one. it was in a bad home so i took it and put it in my refuge. they are simular to aptasia but without the spreading. i put it in my fuge being anemone's are great filter feeders. i wouldnt recomend putting on in your main tank being that they arent the prettiest and can sting but i think it would be great for a fuge. if i could i would put about 20 of them in mine, just for the filter feeded aspect but i dont want to pay for them.

my clowns never came close to mine. i wouldnt worry about it eating your fish either, i dont think it would be near stong enough to take a healty fish. generally when it finds a spot it will stay, mine has been in the same spot for about 6 months now. he has grown and stretches way out. i can also feed mine by hand. its kinda funny it has its own little personality.

can they sting or hurt you?

I used to sell them and handle them all the time and I was never stung. They are really pretty neat creatures.
