    Theres other small anemones besides the bad ones (mananjo & aptasia) that are definitly ok. I've seen a small one similiar to yours with pink tips that a local reefer has kept for some time with out any outa controll population explosion. Other reefers I know are keeping a mimic ricordea that really is a mini carpet. They can grow in numbers fairly quickly, but are pretty controllable. However, I too am leaning to mananjo.

    If mananjo, don't sump it like Craig said, it'll just breed in your sump and send the babies up top eventually :)

    Oooh yaha, them suckers are tuff. You should see what I've done to them and had them survive. Roaches, aptasia, GSP and mananjo are the only things that can survive a nuclear blast and continue to multiply.
