Sebae Anemone

[rusty dowell]

I have a 265 reef established for years, several tangs and clowns. I was thinking about a purple tip Sebae anemone.
My question is, will my tangs be safe?

If anything, I'd be more worried about my tangs eating the nem. But I've never heard of either case happening so you should be good

I dont see tangs eating them but these are ornamental and very sticky to the touch and May cause issues with fish who get too close

Nah, fish are stronger than the nem. Nems are great at catching stationary/very small plankton. For the most part, if a fish swims to close, the force produced from their tail will be enough to scare the nem into closeing for a few minutes.

I sold these at my LFS and had fish like a panther grouper and humu trigger have these stuck to them and the fish shaking vigorously to get the nem off of them
