Hey guys my tanks been up and running for about 2 years , dont have any coral but im looking to start adding it in,
Ive always wanted an anemone and want to know if its a good idea to add it first before any other coral ?

Ive always been worried about the nem killing other corals and moving around etc but if i add it first is it usually likely they will still move after they settle ?

Thanks
 
I added my BTA after other corals, its moved around a bit but has not bothered any other corals. In my experience nems do not actively seek out other corals to harm

Oh ok thats interesting to know, does it move around still or has it settled in one spot and stayed ?
 
Settled for now and hosting 2 clownfish
 
So when nems move around before settling, they won't sting other corals that they run into?

I'm in the same dilemma.

They’ll sting anything in its path, whether settles or not.
