I see no issue with that list.

Here is my 7' frag style tank that is full of nems.

3x merten (was 4 but @F i s h y needed one lol)
13x Haddoni of all colors and patterns
20 or so RBTA
5x mags
2x crispa
2x malu
3x gigs
2x sebae
1x BW bta
7x Mini maxi
who knows how many RFA
1x borneo or whatever it is called nem (@F i s h y know the name and I can nver get it right lol)
13x warty sea anemones
2x curlyque nems
3x gbta

All of the nems have touched at some point with no issues. The mags, merten, gigs and haddoni touch all of the time. GBTA seems to only get stung by the haddoni if they do wander and touch, but recover just fine. The BW and Mags are neighbors and touch all the time as well.

I do run a ton of carbon in my setup, but outside of that, just a bunch of nems and a 25+ year old pair of clarkii that run from nem to nem all day long.

Oh boy... Not good. My wife is going to find me in the basement trying to plumb in a 6 foot nem tank if I keep looking at threads like this one.

Seriously though, awesome stuff! My wheels are definitely turning after seeing these pictures. :cool::D

Oops, I meant this little guy, not that little guy. You have too many anemones, you should send me some so it's less confusing.
