Florida Condi question

[slider101]

Should I be concerned about my florida condi anemone eating my fish? I have had one for about a week now, my second one and it seems to be doing great. Talked to someone at LFS today and they said that the condis will kill and eat my fish. I looked on here at the description of the Florida condi and it didn't say anything about them doing that. Any ideas?

I used to have 2 condi's and 1 ate my yellow tang and the other ate a cleaner shrimp that got close to him. Needless to say I kept them well fed. I fed them silversides every other day and they still killed and ate my livestock. I took them both out of my tank and returned them to the LFS. I will never again deal with any anemones. That is just my .02

I have 2 plus a carpet anemone never ate any of my fish, don't house it in a tank that is too small, they grow quickly and you may have some issues..

I have a 55 gallon. It is fairly small now, smaller than my fist when full size. I will probably have to get rid of it when it gets much bigger. So if anyone wants it when I have to get rid of it let me know.

55 is a good size, mine have doubled in size in the last couple of months, what else to have with it?

I have 3 green chromis, 2 clowns, 1 hippo tang, cleaner shrimp and 8 blue leg hermits.

your fish should be ok, one of my condy's killed one of cleaner shrimp, but you should be ok with what you have.
