Im still stuck on what kind of nem i wa t, thought of condy decided against it. Went to the shop and found a beautiful tube nem and another stunning carpet, not sure what to get, have a small fairy wrasse and some yellow colony polyps if that makes a difference. In a 12 gal nanoreef. And how painful is a stong from either of those out of curiosity? Lol
 
I have an extremely large carpet and a very large rose bta. Lemme tell u a little about them . . . . The rose - doesn't move around, doesnt eat my gobies, and doesn't knock things over. . . The carpet is the exact opposite. Has eaten 3 gobies, knocks corals over, and will stay still for a few weeks then move, over and over again. . . Both of them can sting fish but you will not feel anything if you touch them. I cannot speak about the tube anenome. . . Have never had one. I only hear that they can get pretty big and can take over a significant section of your tank. I would personally go with a bta for a cube.
 
Ive never owned an anemone begfore they sound really risky to keep, I really like carpets might need a bigger tank first. Haha.

The main question was if they can hurt people because when i go on vacation i have a member of the family come by to feed everyone and i dont need anyone getting hurt. Lol
Ill have to see ifnthe shop has anything that would fit my needs a little better than those two, i realllllly want that tube nem its bright purple so beautiful :p
