I'd like to think there are more reef aquarist that don't have them than those that do, but perhaps I'm being overly hopeful. Sadly and overwhelming majority of the people that do have them shouldn't. One thing to keep in mind is that the reproduction rate for most anemones are not good and it is believed that some can live many decades. At the rate we're removing them and the rate and frequency we're killing them at they could become quite scarce. Luckily the number of people propagating them is growing and aquacultured Bubble Tip anemones are getting more common. Overall BTA's are the most suitable anemones for aquarium life, esepcially if you can get aquacultured specimens.
