Anemone questions

Hello, I’m wondering if different bubble tip anemones will sting or kill each other, also I heard most anemones can’t live together is that true? Would I be able to keep different anemones together and if so what ones thank you

If they are both bubble tip they will not sting each other,
Even if they are not in direct contact two different species may fight each other at a distance, using released nematocysts, which can burn coral and sting other anemones.

Not sure which ones but if they’re on opposite ends of the tank, it would be good unless they decide to move. Maybe others have been successful but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Well it depends on the size of the tank if they are different, what size do you run
I have kept all sorts, the last was a Radianthus magnifica which grew too big, and the clowns loved it it was approx 350mm x 350mm when I gave it away

I've only kept the same species RBTA that have split on their own. Never anything else. I guess I could've elaborated a little bit. :)
