Re: anemone's......what is the deal (good?..bad?)

Its been said that you don't want to mix corals and anemone's. I added a Long tentacle to my tank before I ever had any corals, the LTA moved around my tank so much that I started calling it Mary Poppins....it just floated around for maybe eight weeks, looking like Mary Poppins, every now and then it would find a spot on or under a rock but that would only last a couple of days. a couple of times Mary Poppins took a trip into my over flow and into my wet/dry and then one day she was sucked up into one of my Maxi-jet 600's, I had to cut her free, mind you this was while I had my two Clarkies (I was hopeing they would make there home in the LTA) I thought she was beyond repair, but in the end she recovered nicely. Well it's been over a year now and she has quadrupled in size, she has gone from 3" to almost 12" (see my gallery) and that is before she streaches and fills with water. She is in a 4" DSB and a couple of weeks ago she let loose of the bottom, I had to stand ready to save my corals...I was in fear that she would start her old tricks again and float around stinging my corals, but she repossitioned and is now attached to the bottom again. I would say it is up to you if you want to mix but I suggest a DSB for it to anchor it self in and have a plan in cause it wants to take a cruise around you tank, hope this helps.
