Orbic Bat Problems

[lilsis13]

Hi, I don't know if I am doing this correctly, but I am having problems with my new tank and its inhabitants. I have a very large Orbic Bat that won't leave my anenomes alone. I have a tube anenome that it seems to not bother too much, but I just bought a purple tip anenome on Sunday and my Bat has pretty much eaten all of its appendages. I also have a sebae anenome that it was bothering until I occupied it with the large purple tip anenome. My mentor seems to think that this is an odd problem. I have many other questions, can someone help me out?

Not odd at all. Choose the Bat or the anemones or just let the Bat have em. Orbits are know to eat anemones.

So, you are definately saying that I can't have both? He will eat every anenome or is it possible that there are some particular ones that he won't? My goal is to have invertebrates and coral, I thought that orbic bats were reef safe?!

Orbic bats are very unsafe for reefs. They will eat just about everything. Everything Dogstar provided was true.
