is it safe to keep tangs with anenomies ( probably didnt spell it right)? i know it is not safe to keep them with inver. beacause they will eat them, but does that include anne?

What tangs are you talking about? I have a yellow tang with my anemone, and have no problems.

Like I said in your other thread, I'm not aware of anyone having a bad experience with anenome/tang compatibility. You're more likely for the anenome to have an "incident" with a powerhead than with a tang IMO.

The president of my reef club is the curator of Atlantis Marine World Aquarium here on the island. He has established and maintains a 20,000+ gallon reef system, loaded with SPS and fish. Off the top of my head, I know that there are kole, yellow, hippo, sohal, maybe naso, and other tangs, and tons of anenomes as well! If that doesn't say something, I dont know what will.

As long as tangs are properly fed and fed well, they shouldnt go after corals/anemone at all. There are however always exceptions to the general rule depending on each individual fish.
