I have a reef setup, and am looking for an anemone for my maroons. My local LFS only has Condi and Haitian right now. they bost look cool, but as always research before buying. I want to make shure I don't end up with something that will eat my whole tank.

260W PC (much of the rock surface is 4-18 inches from surface)
70+ pounds LR most over 3 years in my tanks.
pump is rated 2100 gph but has 4' return line to pump thru. and hob skimmer
fish list:
2x maroon clowns about 1" or less
Female madrine dragonet
2x fire fish
inverts:
5x pepermint shrimp
15x assorted hermits(SWF.com variety)
2x mexican turbo
10x unknown snails ( look like they have elephant trunks) about 0.5"

First as a general rule all anemones should be considered fish eaters and none are to be considered reef safe. Although many of us myself included roll the dice to see what happens.
Having said that IMO for your tank neither of them will be happy. You do not have the proper lighting to keep one healthy long term. No matter how close to the surface of the water your LR is. There is no guarantee the anem will stay where you want it.
