Tube anenome, refugium compatible?

[TenCyl]

LFS has some nice Tube anenome in. I realize they're not for the display tank, but what about the 25 gallon refugium? Thanks.

I dont see a problem with them in the refugium or the display tank.....Why would they be a problem in the display?

I have a 55 main and a 55 refugium/sump. In my main are as follows: 1 emerald crab, 1 anenome crab, 1 sally litefoot, 1 porclain crab, five large turbo's, 25 odd "BB" size snails, A sabae/tomato combo, and a flame angel. 6" LSB and 100 odd lbs. of LR.
What reading I have been able to do on these beautiful jewels (tube anenomies) leads me to believe my large turbo's and possibly the flame will become the the equivalent of "fine dining"
Also read where they shed alot of "stinging cells"

If you feed them all well then that shouldnt be to big of an issue. You may have to target feed the tube anem. if you dont see it picking up enough food in the tank naturally. The one I have in my 220 is small (about 1/2" thick ) and is buried in the sand, it loves brine shrimp, and im sure it eats the tons of pods and mysid shrimps I have in the tank as well.
