Default Is bubble-tip anemone right for me?

Hi
your tank will fit the BTA
BUT...
mostly they will move arround in the tank and if you'r unlucky she will
stop at a stonie! If it's so it's possible that the coral will be
damaged or worste dying because of lightabsence or even because the BTA
nettles them!

I would NOT take a bleached Anemone for the first time you took care of
a anemone at all..it's possible to raise them up but if you'r unlucky
she will die !

Hello,
For some time I've been thinking about getting bubble-tip anemone for
my tank.
My tank is about 1.5 years old and has a pair of Clark's clowns,
yellow tang and a pair of Mandarins.
I have couple of SPS/LPS corals (don't remember lathing names, but
common names are cat's paw coral, elk horn coral and frogspawn) and one
yellow leather coral. In addition there are several colonies of star
polyps and zoos.
I think that water conditions are good enough for this anemone, but I'm
concerned about thriving population of bristle worms and all kinds of
pods, sidewinder shrimp and so on (i.e. can they be harmful to
anemones?) Also, will this anemone kill corals while wandering around?
I'm aware about the controversy related to keeping anemones in
captivity, but in case of this LFS, the thing will dye anyway, but
I'd like not to kill anything in process of "rescuing" it.

Also, one of my local LFS also has "albino Sabae". Some time ago I saw
a posting from a guy that managed to get his Sabae to restore the
algae. Is this worth the effort, or the guy (anemone) is a goner?

The setup is:
90 gal. (2' deep) tank with DSB + 30 gal sump/refugium,
200 lbs of LR,
2x 175W 10000K MH + 2 x 55W "deep blue" CF actinic
2x 900 GPH pumps on SQUID and Sea swirl
Euroreef skimmer (forgot the model but it's rated for

TIA
Yuriy

Marcus,
Thaks for the reply.
The anemone I have in mind is about 3" right now (Rose BTA) and my
smallest SPS is elkhorn - about 4" tall.
Did you meant the enemone can cral on it, or just harass it?

Thank you
Yuriy
