Hey everyone so Im considering re-scaping my tank and adding maybe a carpet anemone or ritteri.. I currently have a 40 breeder and have 6 anemones currently in the tank. I have 5 Bubble tip anemones and 1 rock flower anemone.. Do you guys think adding a carpet or a retteri would create a big time chemical warfare between the nems? Can they coexist in harmony? let me knw what u guys think
 
I'd be more concerned about your fishies! 40 br is pretty small for a Ritteri as well. You can get a baby ritteri and it would last a while tho. Definitely run carbon heavy on this tank just in case they do decide to spit out some nasty. Have water on hand for emergency water changes, and try and position them far enough apart from other species that they won't notice they are there. Good Luck!

Sounds like an awesome tank!! I would try and make one of the island close to the middle of the tank depth wise, try and make it hard for the ritteri to touch anything. If it touches the sides of the tank, it will be on your glass in no time.
