Hi do you think it's to soon to et anemone coral my tank is 10 weeks old I have a torch coral at the mo thanks

yes, wait a bit more before adding an anemone. Have your water parameters stabilized? Do you have a decent lighting system going? Anemones require a good amount of light.

How many bulbs? Tank size?

 

[Leeb343]

There's 2 bulbs and the tank is very well Lit and 150 litres

I'm sorry to say a 2 bulb T5 fixture won't be strong enough to keep an anemone. you're going to need more/better light. Is your torch ok? 2 bulbs for lps is also on the very low end.

The torch is doing very well , I went to the shop where I got the tank to upgrade the lighting but was told I didn't need to, said my lights were good as is

Wait 6 months and you will need at least a 4 bulb t5. Anemones are not corals.. They are inverts.
