I would say chances are really good that these will sting. Assume the worst and you will always be prepared.

That's my main concern and I have high end zoos too plus these guys don't host clowns so says the article but damn,they're so nice!:tongue1:

mine are in a rock and they have not move (only when they split) I have them almost a year.. I have touched them and they are sticky so perhaps aggressive... but just put them in their own island.. I will take a pic later to show u..

I have T5's so lighting would be a concern so it might move a bit.

I have T5s and they are all the way at the bottom and in the back of my tank.. lol

On YouTube I've seen clownfish hosting a carpet anemone.

Hey CancerverO
the ones in the pic are not the maxi-mini mentioned in the article ,, as far as i know they are just mini anemones and they just come in the one chocolate green color i used to have a few and your right they dont move at all and mine used to be close to zoas and never bothered them. The mini maxi on the other hand will move around untill it finds a spot it likes and will then stsay there unless conditions change, they are not aggresice and i had mine walk by a few sps and did not sting them but they will eat small fish if they get cought they are sticky and my hermits avoid it.
