Help Picking a anemone!

[Shark Keeper]

Ok I am in the process of switching over from a 55 gallon to a 5 foot 120 gallon tank.

I will have 2 - 10k 175 Hamiltons and 1 10k 250 XM over the tank. It will have great flow since I plan to keep a few SPS. I have been looking at carpets but I have not read that many good reports about them. This will be my first anemone and I want to do this right so I wanted to post here to see what other anemone owners have to say.

Post up!

THanks!

For your first anemone a BTA would probably be your best bet. They seem to be fairly hardy (as far as anemones go), and a lot easier to find a healthy specimen.

Carpets are very cool, but seem to be pretty tough to keep in good health, especially if you don't find a good, healthy one to start with.

A long tentacle could be nice in the tank. But you will have to give it more area since they can grow quite large.
