Default Anemone growth OUT OF CONTROL!!

I finally purchased an Anemone (E. Quad. rose/green) for my pair of false
percs. (actually it broke up the pair and they are fighting really bad, she
seems to have decided that since she has an anemone, she does not need him
for anything. Before they were inseparable.)

Anyways, three weeks ago, it was barely over five inches in diameter. It is
now pushing 10"!!
I thought anemones were supposed to be difficult. I am really hoping this
one divides. My reef tank is only a 20G tall..

Host anemones are BIG animals.
20g tank is way to small for them if you have other corals.
I have bubble-tip anemone in 30g and I feel your pain.
Mine is smothering green and brown button polyps around it.
Looks like it will quickly take over the whole tank for itself.
