What's tank size? Anemones need tanks that are 6+ months usually also. What kind of lighting? Parameters?

Hi,
You can get a brittle or serpant star now (not green brittle they eat fish and shrimp when they get big) You could also get a sand sifting star. Serpent stars are awesome and move fast like a small octopus, they are nocturnal...but if you have moonlights and feed a small chunk of shrimp just after lights out once a month...it's quite a cool show to see.
In about 6 months to a year you can try a red froma or linckia but folks don't have very good luck with them staying alive for more than a year...they starve since they only will eat what ever film algae they eat (nobody is sure exactly which type) and if your tank doesn't have it...oh well.
