Issues with Ball Anemones?

DylanE · Apr 2, 2025

Anyone ever have issues with ball anemones? I just noticed while looking around last night that there are probably 20+ of various size in my tank (some at least a quarter sized). Most close at night but some stay open. Happy to keep them for now unless they may become an issue. I'm planning for a CBB once I get my larger tank though, so may be a moot point.

No one with experience with these guys?

I have found them to be generally harmless. And you are correct, if you get a CBB will be a moot point.

Yeah that’s what I was worried about. Didn’t know if they’d irritate anything. Guess I’ll get that copperband sooner rather than later
