What Corals can be by my anemone? ??

[Rob's Reef]

So I have two large anemone's I would like to know what corals can co exist next to them?

I would like to add coral to this side of my tank but I'm unsure what will hold its own???

Any ideas??

None that i am aware of. They need atleast some space.

Maybe some large softies, Toadstool, sinularia, kenya trees, colt. If you don't care if it's invasive Xenia will do ok also. I kept a 20 gallon full of xenia with BTAs and a large toadstool. They BTAs would move away from the toadstool.

What about Ducans? Maybe some shrooms?

Well that's a bummer! As I love my Nems but they are huge! And take up too much real estate imo... :(

Some would tell you to take them out...but i suggest get a bigger tank. Perfect justification

900gallon time?

Those are awesome. I love the openness of that tank. I wouldn't add anything. :)

Thanks Jason!

I just re scaped it. I wanted to give my Tangs plenty of room to play so I kept the middle of the tank low profile. I only plan on zoas and shrooms for the center. Gonna do the sps/lps and bigger softies on the ends so when they grow out the center still has plenty of room. :)

Am a newbie .... so maybe I have just gotten lucky!
I have BTA and a cluster of Zoa (Zoa had about 6 polyps when I got it) that have lived right next to each other even touching since I set up my tank.

You could consider some LPS on the sand bed on that side or a nice rock with a zoa garden. But being honest your tank looks amazing those anemones are huge :-) do you have any clowns in the tank to host them ?

Try some green star polyps. The anemones should help keep it under control there and give even more movement on that side of the tank.

The big rock on the sandbed on the right is covered in gsp, it's just mad at me for moving it so it's not out...

Mine started off small when I bought it. Now I have two giant nems... ;p

The whole middle section will eventually be covered in Zoas... I wanted to do sps/lps on the ends duncans, torches and some big softies toad stools and such.

There is a pair of clowns that play in those nems. :)

Very cool picture there I think some acans or trackys would look cool on the sand or maybe some ricordia
