Hey i just started doing some research on anemones and i'm thinking about maybe getting one for my tank in the future. I've got a few quick questions though. I have read that some are aggressive and can sting or kill other corals? Is this a rare occurrence or not? Are there certain species to stay away from in general because of this? I also have read that many people do not have success keeping H. Magnifica and I probably will be avoiding that one. Also is an anemone a good thing to be added to an aquarium first? or somewhere in the beginning? And Ive read that anemones need at least 6-8 watts per gallon. The tank im planning onl wil have 4.75 watts per gallon, but I was thinking about getting another light fixture because the one i have will only cover half of the tank(either front or back). Should i do this or is it not that necessary? The lights i have now are 2x 175watt 10k MH and 2x 110watt VHO actinics. The tank im looking at is 48"x24"x24" and i figure if i put the anemone in first it will pick a place high on the live rock closer to the lights and it will be all fine and dandy. Also what additives do anemones need if any?
Thanks a bunch
