Choosing the right corals and anemones for your tank
Match the coral to your lighting and flow. Soft corals such as zoanthids, mushrooms, and leathers and LPS like hammers and torches are forgiving under moderate light and flow, making them ideal first corals. SPS corals like Acropora and Montipora need strong light, high flow, and very stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium. Keep temperature around 76 to 80°F and salinity near 1.025, and give corals with long sweeper tentacles room so they do not sting neighbors.
Anemones do best in mature, stable tanks with strong lighting. Bubble tip anemones are the classic host for clownfish, but remember that anemones move, so cover powerhead intakes. Most are photosynthetic, but occasional target feeding with meaty foods helps growth and color.

Frequently asked questions
Which corals are best for beginners?
Soft corals like zoanthids, mushrooms, and green star polyps, and hardy LPS such as hammer and frogspawn, tolerate a wider range of conditions than SPS.
Do clownfish need an anemone?
No. Clownfish live happily without a host, but a bubble tip anemone in a mature tank offers a natural and entertaining pairing.
How should I acclimate new corals?
Float the bag to match temperature, drip acclimate to your salinity, and place the coral low in the tank before moving it to its final spot over several days.
