    I brought home a really cool orange tube anemone (Cerianthus membranaceus I believe) on Saturday afternoon. It looked great in the LFS tank and acted healthy when they bagged it. It did not have a tube (which is common when they are collected I hear) so I placed a 2" piece of PVC in the sand and...

    Will they get along in the same tank? As some may know from a previous thread, I may have unleashed the wrath of bubble algae into my tank and was thinking of getting ahead of it and unleashing the wrath of an emerald crab on any bubble algae that pops up.
