Rock Flower Anemone Compatibility with Invertebrates

[paulhinrichsen]

Hello,

I am currently in the process of starting up livestock in my tank. In the next week or so, I need to pick my cleanup crew. Ideally id like to have a mix of snails, and shrimp, and maybe a starfish. The other must for me is to have several (at least 4 or 5) rock flower anemones. Are there any invertebrates like turbo snails or typical cleanup crew choices that will not be compatible with the rock flower anemones? I know they are pretty easy to take care of compared to other anemones, and less hostile. Just wondered if there was anything i should look out for.

Sexy shrimp work well with them...CUC will be un-phased....but if the hermits and shrimp get too hungry, you will likely lose a RF anemone to them....

So snails wouldnt get stung if they get too close?

I have snails (astrea, cerith,nerite), skunk cleaner shrimp, pom pom crab, hermits (blue leg currently), sexy shrimp and none have bothered them. This is in a 6g tank with 4 nice rock nems.
