I just wouldnt know what to do when it gets too big. I mean I could always upgrade but I would rather not, I already have a 75 gal African Cichlid tank and my fiance would freak if I got another that size lol. Plus I would have to buy more powerheads and a protein skimmer and all the other goodies needed for a larger tank...

If you aren't going to upgrade, then I'd sell them when they start getting big...then you can buy a small one again with the money you get from the big one.
I love my T. Crocea! Almost 3yrs in my tank

Should I wait a while before getting one? I was told I should have my tank established for around 6 months before getting a bubble tip anemone, would it be around the same for the T. Crocea or just get it whenever?
How old is your tank? Reason being for the 6+ months is your water parameters.
If you've had no major swings you should be fine. Like with most of our live stock a stable enviorement is a must.

I havent started cycling yet. I am waiting on my dry live rock to arrive from BRS and then I will cure it for a month in a rubbermaid tub. Then I will start cycling the tank. I am mainly doing research for now. Thanks for all info!

I don't think it would be a good idea to add a clam before the first six months of a new tank. It's best to let the water param's have a chance to get settled down and run smooth.
