adding bubble tip anemone to soft coral tank?

[olavvk]

i have a 85 liter aquarium running for more than 1,5 years with some soft corals and 1 torch.
2 clowns, 1 royal gramma and a cardinal fish.

I want to know if a bubble tip anemone is possible to add.
i have no experience with anemones and heard that they are more hard to keep and can sting corals.
But are there people having succes with soft corals mixed with a bubble tip or is it really a no go?

You can just be prepared to move your existing corals around

I’m going through this right now. It would be nice if he settled.

That's not a large tank so it could be a challenge. A lot will depend on your rockwork, lighting and flow. The nem will find a spot where its comfortable regardless of where your corals are. What lighting do you have? In my experience lighting is very important for nems. They don't need fed but they do need quite a bit of light to thrive. My bubble tips are sitting under 400 - 450 par and staying put tho many people keep them under less.

You have two clowns, I think it’s a great idea, but the tank is small. They will grow and split, that’s a concern. If you did go this route, would limit a lot of corals, it would be the centre piece.
They are easy if your waters run stable.
Can they sting corals, sure, but once they find their spot, the usually stay put, assuming you don’t monkey around with lighting and flow.

My pink bubble tip thrives in its current location. It has split several times and I was able to trade these to my LFS for credit. It has grown so big that it is stinging some LPS. Just have to live with it or remove the entire rock the bubble tip is living in.
