Any other pico reefers here have Anemones or other aggressive corals in their little tank?
Will GSP die from touching Anemone too often?

Yeah you’re right. The scape was meant to capture a big small look.Looks good, it may indeed bother your corals but to what end? If it's cool looking and happy I say go for it.
I’ve heard that and heard other things about tank age before. Not saying you’re wrong but there are always folks proving that to be just something people say. The tank was a couple weeks old and set up with live rock and sand with water from an established tank before any corals went in. I’ve had 0 significant algae growth and the parameters have been very steady. The Anemone has looked better and better since adding it.It moved to take advantage of the flow. How old is the tank? You should only add a nem after 6 months.
I guess I’ll just have to deal with it when I get to that point. I have plans for a 40g breeder ultimately that’s where it will end up in the future.The only issue I can see you running into is it outgrowing your tank. My largest is the size of a dinner plate.
This tank is way too small, I am sorry to say. That anemone could outgrow the tank in a few months. A 4 gallon is also too small.
Cool. As long as you have a bigger tank available no worries at all. Not judging what anyone does, I have taken risks in my time too. I only wanted to dissuade those reading that might be new to reefing with a pico and no plan. FWIW.I’m actually pretty aware how fast they grow and split.this is in a Nuvo 40. When I put this up I started with just one. Now I have about 30 in there. When it does outgrow I will just move it or take the splits to a fish store. Replacing the rock that he sticks to is not really a big deal either. I have so much in my established tanks. I will also add that having a brute container full of readily made salt water makes water changes a breeze.
