Majano/Aipstasia in a FOWLR

Will majano anemones hurt fish or inverts?

I've got a nano FOWLR with a three-stripe damsel and a mantis shrimp. Instead of corals I went with aipstasia, and I haven't had any problems so far. It looks pretty good, IMO. None of the aipstasia look big enough to take out either inhabitant, though. (That would be easy to remedy if the time came.)

I was hoping to toss in some majano anemones if I can find any, but decided maybe I should check and see if my livestock would be in jeopardy first. Apparently mojanos are nastier than aipstasia.

I doubt that aipstasia will do much harm

If your looking to stock aiptasia your lfs should easily be able to get LR with plenty of aiptasia. If you decide to rid the tank of them Joe's Juice has worked well for me.
