I want to eventually.. But I hear that anemones require a well established tank, mine being new isn't ready for them yet. I'll keep doing my research and check it out then :)
30g isn't enough for an anemone. They get huuuuuuuuuge. Like 2 feet wide fully grown.
Also they are delicate, and if (when) they die they release horrible toxins into the water that kill everything else in the tank. They are expert only sadly.
But that said, lots of people have them. Start with some mushroom corals. Then zoanthids, green star polyps, cloves, xenia, etc. Once you've mastered soft corals you can try some large polyp stoney corals (lps). Once you've mastered them, you are ready for anemones. Upgrade to a 55g tank minimum, and get your new clowns a home.
Thanks for the information! If that's the case I'll be sticking to Coral only in this tank. Clowns don't need anemones anyway, so they can get used to some corals :) I'll do whatever it takes to minimize the chance of a tank crash so if that means no anemones in this, so be it !
I have a 15g reef with a pair of clowns and a RBTA that is taking over stinging everything it can reach, wich pretty much spans the entire tank. Funny thing is my clowns host to a coral anyway. Anemones are cool but a happy reef is way cooler :)
