Anemone only tank or with corals

I used to have nems in my 180 but one day one of them decided to walk and started messing things up. I recently started a nem tank and now all nems are in that system. Its safer this way.

BTA's wander too much for me to do a mixed reef w/ them, I'd rather have anemone's that are more manageable, like sand dwellars that will stay down at sand bed and not climb rocks, or what I have now, a magnifica that is both a rock dwellar and a natural host to my percs.

The rock flowers are pretty, but they are not considered a host anemone, though some clowns may take to them if that is what you are looking for.
I prefer natural matches of clowns to nems as found in wild, hosting happens immediately that way.

I think that is part of the attraction to the RFA's, once they find a home (a good hole in a rock or at the sand/rock interface) they tend to stay put. Of course being crazy colorful too doesn't hurt their popularity!

I have a 75g mixed reef with a RBTA, Condy, and RFA. The RBTA split twice already so instead of one there is now three but no major problems with them moving much, although I did need to add some rock rubble to block off some coral from them. The Condy lived in a Tiki ornament for some time but last Summer decided to move to the rocks where you see it now and has stayed put. I needed to adjust the PH slightly so it's tentacles would sweep away from the surrounding coral. My RFA has stayed and grown in the same spot since I added it to the tank 2 years ago.


You can barely see the RFA below the leather coral and next to the Duncan.
