Tube Anenome...

I recently purchased a beautiful tube anenome only to find out later that these can consume fish! Does anyone here have one or have experience with one that they can share? Are my clowns or gobies in danger of this or if I keep it well feed, will it leave my fish alone kinda thing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

This is a bit of a myth. It's not that common.
I have one too and nothing has happened. I guess I like to lieve in danger anyway as I have a carpet anemone too :-)

Anyway, fish know better than to stay close to it.
