Anemones

[jamest0o0]

well I have a 55 gallon tank that is about a month and a half old... maybe a little more... I was curious should I get an anemone before corals? or doesn't it really matter? and how long should I wait to stick an anemone or coral into my aquarium?

6 - 9 months minimum for an anemone.

You can add corals but the general rule for anemone is about 6 months.

Anemones are alot hardier than people think IMO especially the BTA's, people have had success after putting them in a newly cycled tank were as some havent, I still would risk putting one into soon but i know some people that have. I wanted to wait 6 month before adding corals aswell to prevent the anemone roaming and stinging corals. So i waited 6 months added the nem left it for a few weeks till it found a nice spot and started adding coral.
