Minimum 6 months wait.
That rules apply to most acros and sps. Especially on nano size reef.

Do they say because anemone are sensitive on parameter swings? Do you consider them much harder than those sensitive acros? I had good success with easy sps like monti and birdnest.
Some acros. But people keep telling me it's hard to keep going like corals makes me scared.

Main reason I'm asking is I'm Building new theme nano with colorful rock anemone on the bottom and rbta and gorgonian coral and some macroalgae on dt theme nano.

However after reading so many things that they are difficult to care just got curious about the difficulties on anemones
 
its all about extreme stability, you don't want to kill something because your husbandry isn't dialed in yet not saying you are missing in that department just that most people with a new tank like that don't have a religious schedule and stick to it. all parameters, temp, light, circulation all need to be 100%. good luck

From what I know, you need to be 100% on your game. Water must be tip-top shape. Lighting must be perfect. Substrate. Tank size. Feeding. Blah blah. They’re sensitive animals that need to be acclimated properly and fed properly. I want one, but am waiting it out. In newer tanks, we experience problems and outbreaks that may shock our tanks. We need to make sure our tanks are cycled properly and well-established. It may seem that our tanks are bulletproof until we hit a road stop only to realize we need to backtrack.

With that said, I am building my tank, parameters and lighting to prepare for a purple tip which I’m looking into getting soon.
 
Its more for new tanks in the hands of new hobbyists, in my opinion. Someone with years of experience can set up a new tank and have the experience and knowledge to maintain stability throughout the cycles of algaes etc. Newbies will have a learning curve that matches, or exceeds that of the curve of a tank maturing.
