Both of those look great. Those were some of my first corals too and those guys kept going till I sold them back. Good choices

Better than my choice in anemones. lol And the guy at this new shop said he would take the condy I bought by mistake and might even give me a few bucks.

So excited still, I keep watching them.....

That's good to hear, if you're lookin for a different anemone, I was told carpet anemones are good hosts. I myself am gonna try to get my clowns to host in my zoas once I get em.

lol yea, I'm really wanting to get my coral started, but I need to get lighting, and a powerheard and skimmer, which I guess is good that way my tank can mature some more in the process

I got my lights only 2 weeks ago, went with a 30" quad t5 setup. And my skimmer is a Remora. But that's coming tomorrow. I figured I'd be ok for a day without one.

Read up on the skimmers. i was dumb and bought a cheap one that was total garbage. i spent the extra money and got one with excellent reviews. prob spent too much but I didn't wanna skimp since I'm going mostly corals

Yep, I'd rather spend more on a skimmer and other accessories, than have my fish/coral die, have to buy multiple ones, etc.
