Dropped a bollock.. Oops

Well on sat I picked up a stupid impulse buy. Condylictus anemone and a sweet lips. I now realise that the anemone is bad new and could sting all my fish and corals. It doesn't appear to have yest and has been in one day . He has settled on a leather coral which shows no indication of stress. What are your thoughts... Take it back? Thanks alot guys

Just I pint out he leather coral has always been hollow ish at back

Condi anems can definitely sting your tank inhabitants. If you are not sure about it you should probly take ot back

My hatian condi stays put (up high) and is one of the centerpieces of my tank - I've had it for about a month with no issues (yet).

My Condy kills lps. Irritates zoas n sps. Haven't seen it around my leathers. Bigger question. Which means more to u, the leather or the nem.

..........rarely am I speechless

Yea just put him in for a bit as he looked cool. The lfs will take hi back when he is a bit bigger. Looking to upgrade to the rsm 650 in the new year. Absolutely love having my first reef tank, alot of learning on the way but that's the fun of it

I love them both equally I reckon. I'm tempted to just monitor the situation as he has not moved from this spot. Mayr he is content and won't sting the leather . Or maybe I'm plain stupid lol

I'm hoping for the same outcome

New fish to me... been reading up on the cool looking sweetlips... looks like it will be a challenge and 33" eeeeekkkkk

Scientific Name Plectorhinchus orientalis
Reef Compatible No
Care Level Expert-Only
Disposition Semi-aggressive
Min. Tank Size 125 gallons
Mature Size 33 inches

This fish requires special care and is traditionally difficult to keep. It is, therefore, recommended only for the advanced aquarist or for aquatic research facilities.

Well this morning I got up early to take the fish back to the lfs only to find my crabs munching on the poor fishes body. I havd made the decision to not stock tank any more until I canGet the rsm 650 early next year. A it project I'll be lookig at using utility room rto stor ro and saltwater on tap I the tank on other side of the wall

Sorry to hear you lost him we have all made impulse buys, the RS family a great place to ask questions 1st, it just seems we all in this hobby learn as we go... I have done it too, with a few corals when I was starting out and lost them - I now see livestock I want at lfs & if it's new to me - I come here to RS and always get some great & save some dollars
