Saw this about bubble tip anemones and wanted to know your thoughts?

That's pretty interesting, so is it physical or chemical warfare? I haven't seen any of my btas with their acrorhagi extended, but then again I haven't noticed any issues with aggression between my nems yet.

You won't see it with the nems you have Tim. Once you start dabbling in CC-lineaged nems and Colorado Sunbursts, you'll start seeing what others have seen with mixing them. People mix wilds, rainbows, rose, Sherman, and black widows all day with very little issues... There's plenty of evidence with that. There's also a lot of evidence with people mixing CSBs and them slowly wasting away and dying. It happens enough that it should get anybody's attention who may plan to buy one in the future.

Nobody really knows. My thoughts are bacterial incompatibility but who knows at the end of the day.

I lost a yellow tipped nem due to this. Had it with a regular pink bta no problem. Added a few other rainbows that a friend has had forever and things went south with just the yellow tip. Anecdotal, but cost me a gorgeous, expensive nem.

Just be wary when mixing! You will see the signs, then remove and start cipro.

Black widows are known to kill CSBs. Just as a warning to anyone reading this.

I agree.

i have one csb, one acid wash, one orange tip, and one black widow. When I first got the csb, I found him next to the black widow the next morning. I got scared and quickly scooped it into a sea shell and its been loving it in there. I found out that each anenome kindof needs it own space, rock or shell or cracks. My clowns barely touches the acid wash, but loves the other three, especially the csb and orange tip. They sleep in the black widow. With the mixing of the mucus between the clowns and anenomes, I feel like my anenomes have gotten use to each other, but doesn’t mean there isn’t chemical warfare
