Can I keep any coral in the tank?
Safe vs. unsafe varieties?

I also have some anemones but there is no way to tell if they will bother your octo, mine don't seem too.

CaptFish;145437 said:I never told anyone it was OK and to put an anemone in with their octo, All I have done is report the findings I have had through my personal experience. MY anemones and MY octo dont effect each other at all.
In addition, the area I caught my octo has TONs of anemones and Fire Coral. We only get in the water there if we lose a trap. It's also littered with Bullsharks.
I think some people around here live by guidlines that have never been truly tested. Now maybe I have some magical fish, I used heavy doses of Copper medication on my tank years ago when I kept oscars in it. oh and I also have brass hardware. Even with all that my octo is extremly healthy, and so far has lived longer than any of the octos since i joined TONMO. I guess I'm just a terrible Octo keeper.
