I would say that in a big enough tank nearly any anemone can be with another on opposite sides

And yet, a friend has a 240g now front in which he kept a rose bubble too and a green bubble tip that never touched each other but we're close enough to shoot mucous at each other until they both died and wreaked havoc on the whole tank. Has anyone else ever heard of such a thing happening? I would have thought they would have been comparable. Plus I never hear of them shooting mucous like that.

That Is quite interesting as I keep a rainbow, green, and rose quadricolor (bubble tip) nems together and literally they are all touching and happy!

I believe your friend could have had a rose BTA and the green one could have been a sebae or long tentacle as those two anemones sometimes closely look like standard green Bubble tips when in a certain condition and lighting. If that was the case they would have killed each other if they found out the other was in the tank. (And the mucous is actually the anemones way of attacking from range I call it "Anemome warfare")


Thanks for sharing! If you can verify the species I can add it to the list but I would like a first hand notice from your friend!

I have a tube anemone with two bubble tips in same tank. Not touching but in same area of tank.

That is interesting! Can you post a picture please! My research has indicated thus far that if two nems are in a close enough proximity, it will simulate the effect as if they were to touch. This will hopefully mark a check on the spreadsheet under tube and bubble tip!

Okay here goes nothing...
Im going to try to describe it to the best of my abilitys...

First,
It enjoys meduim flow.
It doesnt move around at all. It stays stuck to the glass..

The disk is about an inch in a half when its fully open...
Its mostly brown in color..and has purplish pinkish small tips...it has about 10 whitish stripes going from its mouth to the base of its tentacles....
It loves squid.
Its foot is always showing.... Is very sticky and hardy...survived 2 tank crashed due to infected coral releasing toxins...
This anenome is preditory tho...and does shock fish that doesnt know what they are resulting in death (killed off my file fish) but it leaves the sargent majors alone...

Stupid question but a simple one:
Why in that compatibility list, it stated BTA can't touch another BTA?

We know that this isn't true; a lot of folks' tank here has BTA side-by-side. One that I remember, Melev's 50G anemone tank.

Unless the only way it can live side-by-side is by means of splitting the same anemone into 2, 3, 4, 5,....?

I understand this is a forum about anemones that can live with other anemones and if this is a stupid question I'm very sorry. I love anemones and I would like a pair of clownfish. I'd li,e to know which anemones are OK with other fish. I would really like a few rock anemones and a few bubble tips but I don't know if they will eat other fish. Can someone help me with info? Thanks.
