To anemone or not to anemone

[sackman]

I plan on getting a pair of percs for my 90 gallon lps tank. I'd love to get them an anemone but I an apprehensive to do so due to:

1. Anemones seem to live forever in the wild, not so in captivity.
2. It may wonder around my tank and kill my corals.
3. My clowns my never take to it.
4. Suppose it ends up in my overflow and floods my house.
5. Suppose it ends up in on of my vortechs and kills everything in my tank.

The hosting behavior is all I'm really looking for. I've thought of trying a frogspawn or even a toadstool in an attempt to mimic the behavior without causing to many problems.

Any thoughts?

It sounds as though you have already made your decision.
Should you ever change your mind I would recommend seeking out a E. quadricolor clone from another reefer's system. They are around and as far as I'm concerned, should be the future of anemone supply.
