Hi all.

Background: A week ago, I moved the gang (3 fish and multiple corals) into an IM 30 gallon long from a 13.5 gallon Evo. All is well, no ammonia spike as I had 3 big rocks from the 11 month old Evo that seeded the new tank. My parameters are alk 9, phosphates below 0.1... last reading 0.05, and nitrates testing at 0 so adding a little neonitro to keep them from bottoming out and feeding generously too. Fish and corals seem to be settling in well.

Just before I did the move, my male clown, Neo, decided to host a frogspawn. It is so darn cute. He spends most of his time with this coral now and the female clown, Trinity (yes you need to know the names, LOL), just hovers around.

I would like to add a bubble tip anemone to this tank. Feels more appropriate than the Evo. Question since this is a sort of new tank but sort of not, when is it appropriate/safe/reasonable to add one? Thank you.

Personally I say go for it. Your corals look fine, the rocks are mature, I think its ok
 
Started tank many times and added nems. Dry rock and sand. I will say nems are happier on established rock

Started tank and added that day. All dry rock and sand. I did seed tank with good bacteria from small rubble
