I recently bought one for my nano.. At the store it was hosting a pair of maroon clown. When i got it home i was hoping my Ocellaris Clownfish would hook up with the anemone. I did some research after the fact, and most places say this particular anemone doesn't host any clown fish. Strangely my Arrow crab seems to have fallen in love with the anemone and hangs out underneath and inside the thing. Does anybody have personal experience with this type of anemone?

I've had mine for a few weeks now, it hasn't moved from the spot I placed him, still has good color and looks bigger than when I bought him, but that could just be him expanding I think. He gets a piece of mysis about once a week. From what I've read the bad things to look out for is:
1) if he keeps moving around and won't settle in a spot.
2) He bleaches, color good, all white bad - can be fixed
3) he disintegrates (or is that corals?) it means he's dying.
I'm sure there are others that know much more than I've read so far.

If he gets to big I also have a 170 gallon FOWLR I can put him in. My Nano is only a month old. But they only grow 1-3 inches I don't see why he would get to big

That is what I thought and we had a red flatworm problem, which arrows eat and thought about getting one to help us out. But it seems as if something else is eating the flatworms or they are dying because they have reduced by many over the past week.
