Anemone Question

[Will C1]

is it safe to put more that 1 anemonie in a tank? i had a nice seabae but my monster satrfish decided to eat him so i took the star up to my LFS and got a nice credit for him. so now that the star is gone i got a carpet anem and my percs dont like it, so i was planning on getting either an LTA or a BTA and i was wondering if i should return the carpet or keep it (because its a cool purple and green color). or should i put it in my reef? if i put it in my reef will it harm anything? in my 125 it has almost doubled in size in only a day. i think the lfs's tanks were not the best for him and i dont believe they feed him as he ate a ton of food last night and when i got him he was fist sized and now hes open hand size after only 1 feeding and 1 night in my tank. or the other question is will my perc's eventually adopt him and be happy? should i just wait. if so how long does this usually take? when i put them in they immeidatly went for the seabae but wont go near the carpet.

ok that answers the multipul diff. anemonies in one tank but what about the carpet in the reef? i really have no expierience with them as of yet. and i dont know what to expect of any anemonies. i have kept all sorts of other life except for SPS and anemonies so i dont know squat about either.

About carpet anemones in reefs.

I have read thread after thread after thread after thread that was along the lines of- "MY CARPET ATE MY YELLOW TANG!!" or "Why did my carpet anemone eat my mandarin?" or "OMG, why does my carpet keep eating all my fish?"

So I can't speak from personal experience, but if you have fish in your reef that are likely to bumble into it, I wouldn't do it!

well i guess that answers all my questions . so back to the LFS's he goes once i get the new one to replace him. at least he's larger and i should get all my money back for him lol.
