Newbie question / poll here.
I am coming back to the hobby from a 10+ year break. I recently picked up a used 120G 48x24x24 and my goal for the tank is to care for some anemones (BTA probably), pair of clowns, a few other fish and maybe some hardy corals like mushrooms, GSP, leather corrals.
I'm curious how many people on this forum have been keeping tanks with both anemones and corals. I have been lurking and reading posts, and it seems that many people post when they have problems with stinging anemones and anemones moving onto corals. So, are there any corals known to do better with anemones than others? Or is the consensus that it is just all together better to keep an anemone only tank? I went ahead and put in third answer in case you have found success with particular corals and particular anemones together.
I guess the basic reason for asking:
If the advice is to wait for 6 months or longer to add an anemone, what can you add in the meantime assuming it will stay in the tank for the long run.
If you have mixed reef w anemones please chime in as to how long? has it been a war zone? or anemones and corals all happy together?
