tube anemone and sun coral nano?

[harleychic]

I want to do a 10-20 gallon nano with just one small tube anemone and a small sun coral, maybe an anemone shrimp or porcelain crab or two. Any recommendations? I've kept both before, so I am aware of their special needs on feeding. I would like to keep this tank with actinics only, would this be okay with the shrimp and/or crab or two?

sounds like an interesting setup. I like the concept. What will you use for filtration?

I had a 10 gal tube nem tank previously with just a HOB and frequent water changes. What I'm most curious about is if the actinics alone would be okay. Will any other inverts (such as a shrimp or crab) need other lighting to simulate a day/night schedule?

Love it, that is exactly what I had in mind! Can you give me specs on your tank and feeding/maintenance schedules?

The tank was an 18 gallon Elos Mini.

I fed the suncorals and anemone daily, a mix of mysis and pellet foods.
The suncorals did very well and even began spawning before I sold the system to a good friend.
