What are the chances??

[peteyboyny]

Right now I have a Cream Angel in my 72g. A couple of feather dusters, 1 cleaner shrimp, and a few sm snails. Question...If I were to add...lets say a
Tube Anemone ..."WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THE TUBE ANEMONE WILL TAKE OUT THE ANGEL"?

It is highly unlikely that a healthy fish will swim into the anemone. They know better than to do that.
It is usually carpet anemones that people worry about as they are so sticky.

You should be fine

+1.
Btw, what type of lighting are you running ?

NO chance...you'll need a net!

You should be ok, but keep your water cool. My experience with tube anenomes is that they tend to like their water in the 65-68 range.

UMM did you miss the part where he said he has other stuff in there that requires higher temperature? I don't think telling him to keep his tank at 65-68 degrees is good advice I'm sorry to say. Maybe keeping tube anems in a separate tank w/ a lower temp is a better idea.

 

[Jzhou]

I actually don't see where he mentions that, but you are right since his angel prefers temp in the 70s.

So overall opinion is that I should be ok? By the way...no light yet. I have a Wave Point 4x54w t5 HO that is going on the tank. That's why I'm looking at non-photosynthetic stuff.

I've kept my tube anemone in 78-80F waters for about 3 years without issues, still going strong

Very cool. Or...not cool. lol.
Thanks for the input everybody.
So...if I Turn the temp down to freezing, use a net to "take out" my angel, and put some lights on my tank...I should be okay?
