I purchased two anemones with the rock they were each attached to as I had two Barberi Clowns and wanted each of them to have a place to hang out. I thought I had out smarted them and they would stay where I place the rock. It worked for about a month until they got comfortable and started looking for their favorite spot. One Clown was more aggressive and hosted both of them and tormented the more passive clown. I gave the bully to a local high school with a salt tank. Over the course of a year, the two eventually became seven. I have taken two of them out as the opportunity presented itself and now it looks good. Three are out front and two are in the back, subject to change with their tiny minds.
I started with probably a dozen mushrooms of four varieties two years ago and they have propagated quite well. Early on I cut one in half to see if I could grow two, that proved unnecessary, the red mushrooms started with one and now I have about 10, one of which will grow to 6 inches across at mid-day. Before the anemones chased them off the top rock, it was solid mushrooms, they all jumped off as they hate the anemones. When I am in the tank I will gather any loose ones and toss them over to the base of the rocks. I added three hairy mushrooms in the front of the tank a year ago and they have done well also with the largest one growing to 4 inches by mid-day as well.
Thanks for the comments,
