Acclimation of Anemones

Hi all. I'm brand new to this site, and can't believe no one ever told me about it. Happy to find so many others like me. So Anemones - I'm starting a new tank, 33 gal long specifically for inverts and coral. I've never had an anemone before, however I have heard that they will sting and kill corals and even other inverts and yet millions of people seem to have them with corals and inverts anyway. Surely you must all know something I don't. How can I ensure no one dies? What are the requirements for an anemone in regards to tankmates? Are there particular anemones that are "less agressive" to corals? What is the acclimation process to ensure the safety of all involved?
 
You cant ensure that no one dies...certian anemones have tendencies to stay put.....bubbles and long tips...but all will move from time to time...

Acclimation...we drip ours and they have had no problem.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome, and thanks for the info. So basically it's just a "fact of life" sort of thing? Sounds good. I haven't yet started the tank because there are several things I've never tried before going into it, so Im doing more research and study than anything else. Do you think it would be wiser to let the anemone settle before adding coral or vice versa?
