How many anemones is to many? I have a 50 gallon system with three rose anemones, one Sebae and anouther one (not sure of the name)
In addition I have alot of corals to, 4 greenstar polup rocks, a large Xenia, 2 med button polup rocks, 1 star fish, snail, crabs and who else nows what. I almost forgot, I have 70 Lbs of live rock, 40 lbs of gravel and 20 lbs of live sand on top of the gravel.
Thanks

As long as you feel comfortable and the anemones aren't moving around the tank killing corals or each other, it is ok.

I dissagree with Viper on this.
You should never mix species of anemones. I am of the opinion that sooner or later they will meet and sting each other, and if that happens its a lose/lose situation. You will most likely have one dead anemone and one that is wounded. There are to many threads about a dead anemone and how they can foul the tank.
Now if you have RBTA's for instance and they keep splitting then thats fine, they don't seem to harm each other. In my case I have about 10 BTA's right now in my 90 gallon. They have never harmed each other.
