I'm being overrun by Anemones. I've tried using direct flow to keep them at bay or just in a certain area but no luck. I remember a time when I couldn't keep an anemone happy. Now they're too happy. What can I do?
 
Oh man I can definitely help you out there I am stocking a 200 and would happily help thin out your nem (problem?) garden.
 
I just went through the same issue. I started with one nem and it was gorgeous and perfect for the rock structure it was on. But then over the course of a year they just started taking over the tank and stinging everything around them.

I had to make the tough call to just remove them. It took me 4 months, using various techniques and I ended up pulling out 9 in total!

My tank is looking a little bare on that arch but on the plus side I’ve got prime real estate to plant some new SPS frags. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
