Get one because they are so awesome!!! Clowns host in them as well as certain crabs. They are fun to watch and they provide movement in the tank with the flow (sticks do not move!!!) Here are a couple of mine that I have had either in the past of in the present:
My new one:
My Tri-color with balck occys hosting:
My Rock Anenome:
My burrowing sea anenomes:
My Pom Pom anenomes:
My no-name mini-bta's:
My Green BTA:
Bob, I have been mulling the idea of getting a pom pom crab - since my sallies went back to the store. What can you tell me about their disposition? Blenny safe? Reef safe? Clam safe?
Hadn't even thought about the nems... Do they end up stinging stuff?

I have found them to be reef, blenny and clam safe. They are really small in size. The anenomes are harmless to the reef and are used to help catch food for the crab. After some time goes by (8-12 months), they sometimes lose their pom pom anenomes.

It would have to be a nem that I could put on the rock as my sand bed is totally full up.
Most prefer the rocks only bad thing is most tend to wander if they don't like their spot that's when they find their way into power heads. I got lucky when mine did it only lost a couple tentacles.I am getting a nano this weekend so it and nemo and Marlin can be happy in their own home and the dang thing will quit wandering and stinging other critters. Too hard to keep it and all the corals happy so it's "getting sent to it's room for not playing nice with others. Also I hope this will give my clowns that host it a better chance of laying and possibly breeding.
If you can take care of fish and coral, then you can take care of anemones.
Wow MM I was just wondering today about where the **** you been. Glad to see you!
Not so worried about caring for a nem as the possible issues that come along with them. You know, The Risk Factor! Lol
Hi my name is Larry and I'm a coral addict!
