Anemone or coral

[johnny4491]

I'm having trouble deciding if I should add Coral or a anemone to my 6 gallon because I know I can't add both ? What do you guys suggest or think

Coral lol

Also looking to see if there is a anemone that stays really small

As an experienced hobbyist I would not put an anemone in a 6 gallon tank.

Why do you want an anemone? Can you get by with a Duncan, or the Euphyllias like frogspawn, torch, hammer?

Well the truth I heard you don't need a special lighting for them because I have a basic lighting because I only have a 6 gallon

Can you describe what you mean by "basic lighting?" Type (LED, fluorescent, incandescent), number of bulbs (or diodes) and wattage (either total or per bulb)? I'm going to guess you don't have sufficient intensity for any photosynthetic saltwater animal. Both photosynthetic corals and anemones have similar lighting needs.

My lighting type is 18watt compact fluorescent lamp ? Half 10k day light/ half 7100k actinic blue

I don't believe that would work except for maybe zoas or mushrooms.
