Questions about Curly-Que Anenome

[fishguy23]

After being stung by what I thought was an LTA, I have discovered what I actullay have is a CurlyQue anenmome, I was wondering if any reefers have had experience wih this species, my clowns have yet to host in it, both clarkii & saddlebacks, seems like they take measures to avoid, I have read that they do pack a powerful sting (Now experienced) and should use caution in a reef?!

all anemones are agressive

Never had clowns host in a curlyque anemone and i really doubt they ever will. In my eyes a Curlyque anemone is nothing but a larger aiptasia, cool in the beginning but a PITA later on.

I agree with nanoreefer22. They get big, are capable of killing fish, will not be hosted by clowns and, IMHO, ain't that purty.
