Not a good idea at all. In a week, put in some damsels. They'll stick it out, not as expensive, wont die, etc. An anemone would die anyway cuz the evels arent right and the light probably isnot good enough. Damsels are like $5, so u wont miss one if it dies.

absolutley no to both of them.both of them need VERY stable condtions in an aqaurium.anemones dont have a good survival rate.let your tank mature and keep asking questions here.your on the right track.

........anyway Rubberduck, just sit back and start saving your money as your tank matures. Your asternia star and worm should be fine.
