Default Anemones....

Are all anemones poisonous? Will they all damage other corals in the tank? If so, is there any other invertabrate or coral that will most my clowns?

I think the best piece of information I've read tonight is that aquarium clown fish do not NEED to have an anemone, since I will not have any predators in the tank. This is is good news with all of the complications that can arise with anemones.

Also, I do not believe that they will ALL eat a flame angel. As long as the fish is big enough to not fit in the mouth of the Anemone you should be good.

True, clowns don't need a host in your tank BUT the clown will either hide in rocks or use another of your corals as a host.

There is nothing better than seeing clowns and anemones interact together.
