I have a new 55 gallon tank that has been running for approximately 6 weeks. At present it is stocked with 2 clownfish, 1 damselfish, 1 blennie, 5 hermits, 4 snails, 1 shrimp (a think it is a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp), and 2 starfish.
A few days ago I bought an anemone. The clownfish have taken to it right away and for now it seems healthy. (Photo attached)
I don't feel like I properly understand how to take care of it though, as I've read a lot of different things, ranging from doing nothing (if the clowns accept it) to putting plankton in the water, to hand feeding it bits of shrimp.
I am using T5 lighting (2 white, 1 blue).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to see this anemone thrive if possible!
Also any advice for some hardy corals I could introduce as a next step (and also thoughts as to when I can do it).
Many thanks!
