Coral or Anemone?

[jmaggi]

:thinking: I have a 12 Gallon Eclipse setup and would like to enjoy the beauty of either coral or anemones.
Can anyone tell me what of the two would be easier to care for?
What would be a good starter, or a species that is rather hardy.
Thanks
Jer

Well, this is a tough question because some corals are only relatively "easy."
I think first we will need to start out with tank basics before making suggestions:
Age
Amount of LR
inhabitants
specific water parameters
lighting

Well first off, you don't really want a tank full fo anemones. They can sting each toher, and eclipse lighting comes no where near what they need to live, so they'll die. You may be able to keep some shrooms and zoos under that lighting though.
