Anemone Compatibility Spreadsheet!

[Nemguy123]

Well gigs are very much prone to bacterial infection so if not treated with cipro and then qt until you're sure it's not infected then add it with other nems but too many times in the past have I had un-treated gigs infect all of my nems it's not a fun thing

 

[Tanked_Life]

That is not a fun thing at all! I'm still trying to find research on anyone who has ever kept a gig with a ritteri

 

[Nemguy123]

Yeah me too I'm gunna try it inn a week or so when my new gigs get here and go through 10 days of cipro treatment

 

[Nemguy123]

This is my mag I plan on keeping with a gig

 

[Tanked_Life]

How big is your tank again??

 

[Nemguy123]

I actually just set this tank up so I can try keeping a magnifica with a carpet I made it a 17 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump so I know they will be in close proximity

 

[Nemguy123]

But I have about 7 different fish tanks all that are capable and established to house anemones

 

[Tanked_Life]

That's awsome! Can you log daily activity for me!? This will be good stuff

 

[Nemguy123]

Of coarse I'll post pics of the gigs through treatment and also when added with the magnificas

I'm sorry for your loss. They where all beautiful. From your experience how ever would you say that it is ill advised to keep a gig and haddoni together still?

I simply wouldn't advise it.

Even though I'll never be able to confirm the exact cause of death.

When discussing anemone compatibility; are bubble tips considered reef safe? Some written information suggest avoiding anemones with corals, but some of the reef tanks on forums include both within a tank environment.
Appreciate your thoughts

Just like every coral, anything can happen. Look at chalice corals they hurt most and kill others. chalice corals also have a stronger sting than BTAs. So yes they are as reef safe as most lps if that counts

 

[ja4207]

Anemones move, as such they can move onto things that either hurt the anemone or animal they move onto.

Personally over the years i've lost or had sever injuries to many of corals due to anemone movements. Including one near tank wipe out from a MP40 that an anemone crossed with. Basically resulted in a blender of anemone bits all over everything. Wiped out 70% of the livestock including the fish before I could contain and begin the healing.

So to put it mildly, reef safe..... no. With extreme caution is a better way to put it.

With that, most people have them in their reefs. Its hard to ignore the beauty of the symbiotic relation of a clown and its anemone.

Hey tanked, one thing of note.

The beaded sea is a different species to what I have which is scientifically called Heterodactyla Hemprichii. Unfortunately I do not have much if any info on this Anemone other than the truly sparse info collected on this site and now limited personal exp.

Gotcha what is you experience with the hemp and I will remove the "beaded" from the list tommorow

 

[Tanked_Life]

*removed Beaded and pizza nem from the list until further info has been acquired
