Hi guys/gals!

Are anemones compatible or will they sting each other? I have 2 BTA, 1 sebae and 1 carpet anemone. Which ones should be ok to place side by side? I think putting the compatible ones together would appease our eyes but in the mean time, I do not want them to kill each other too. :D

What size is your tank? The size matters.

However, I have 2 BTAs and a pizza anemone and they live harmoniously in a 9 gallon.

(not suggesting you do this)

They will kill your coral though if they decide walk over them. Or if they come into contact with each other.

There's a lot of reading online about anemone compatability.

I think ultimately they won't go "hunting" for each other. But the worry comes when your anemones touch each other and their sting kills.

So if u do want to keep more then one anemone, make sure u have more then 1 suitable spots (read up more online about what anemone craves. Usually moderate wave with moderate lighting for the tentacles and a cave like place for its "body" as its "body" doesn't like waves and lights) in the tank to and place them there to minimize their chance of moving around. Do ensure that these spots are far apart too. Always estimate the out stretched size of an anemone as 2-3 times the size U see in the lfs.
