The price you would pay is the cost of corals. This species is similar to mojano and is a pest. They will overgrow and kill off any coral it comes in contact with. Fast spreader.. If you want to try it, go for it. However do not say you have not been warned.

This is simply not true. As i said before I've had them for a number of years and never had any problems with them. I wouldn't keep them with my bubble nor with a frogspawn. Also as I previously said, they split from 3 to 7 in over 2 years. If your zoas or any other coral is not splitting at this rate, you must be doing something wrong. And lastly if these nems would be such a headache as you describe it i wouldn't want to keep any of my 7, instead I am keeping 5 and selling two simply because I'd like to use the space for something in addition to them and not instead of them.

There are over 2000 different types of anemones in the world. It could very possibly be something different than a majano anemone

Tom, you are right... there are many a species of anemones. These anemones are a pest. I have worked on a tank with these guys in the tank "because the owner thought it was pretty". They have taken over a good portion of the rock, sand, glass and overflow.
While the OP may not have an issue with them in his tank. It should still be noted that while these look cute, they can become a plague in someone else's tank. So it should be knowingly thrown out there that these guys are a pest anemone and caution should be exercised when looking to sell/purchase these anemones.
