I have seen then before and will do some research on them, my fish store guy has told me that they will burn other corals?
Completley false about the BTA's light requirements. Although they may not need as high intense light as some other species of anemones, they still need very high lighting. If you can guarantee the anem will stay at the top of your tank...(which you cannot) then it MIGHT and I emphisize MIGHT work but long term it will still suffer IMO.
No, there is no clown species that will look to a tube anemone for hosting.
And lastly FALSE.. tube anemones although can move generally dont and its not as easy for them to. They are not true anemones and yes while they can sting other corals so can any other anemone. Which would be a lot eaiser to do for other anems because they can move eaiser than the tube anem can. The tube anem also has been studied and proven to have the least poisious sting of all anemones, even aptasia has a bigger bite than a tube anem.
