Is An Anemone Worth It? And Tank Update

My 30 gallon is about to hit the 4 month mark....besides one fish death( lost a scooter blenny) and one coral death/ severe handicap the tank has been doing great...now from the stsrt one of my aspirations was to have an anemone...as time has worn on however I've begun to doubt whether it's such a good idea...my tank parameters are all good and I'll soon have adequate lighting but I worry that it won't be worth it...from the anemone eventually growing massive to the fear it may stsrt wandering the tank and killing all of my corals...are my hesitations justified or is owning an anemone that much of a rewarding experience....?should I get one in a few months or should I just fill the spot I've saved with a torch head to compensate? Money isn't a determining factor here its just about the benefit to the tank and the hobby

Also I'm thinking about getting an emerald crab this week....how will she( want to keep them small) do with the corals as I hear they can get s bit nippy....also I worry about size

 

Gorgeous tank! I always love euphyllia corals. Honestly anenome's are beautiful and fascinating. Nart has anenomes. They won't grow huge and wander around killing corals. They will only wander if they don't like the spot they're in. Other corals will do the same thing. If you want a different type of anenome, check out RFAs. Rock Flower Anenome. grantm91 also has an anenome. Nanologist is planning on getting lots of RFAs if you decide to go that route.

I've loved the look of rock flowers and have been planning to get one....when it comes to traditional anemones it seems the best option for me, if I go with one, is a bubble tip....so even in a 30 gallon I shouldn't worry about the anemone stinging my fish or corals?

 

BTAs are easy to keep and are beautiful creatures. They will move to find a spot they like. So be prepared move your other corals around. But once they find a spot they like they won't move. If you don't feed them, they don't grow quickly and they don't split.

 

I have 4 nem s in my reef tank, they are great, I have a maxI mini, 2 fairy and a bubbletip. I have mine with a variety of different species including leopard wrasses, shrimp, electric blue crab, triggerfish and 5 different clowns at one poibt! Also alveopora coral, hammers and plates etc If there’s any specific Qs about them you want to ask me feel free! I just joined today so I’m trying to be as useful as possible and get to know the forum aha

Within the past week I've gotten 2 vibrant rock flowers....so far they are doing great with one fully flat in the sand while the other is still in the original crevice I placed it in
