Should I buy an anchor coral?

[salisbury a d]

First off the anchor coral in mind is one that has been at the lfs for about4 months.
It was not shipped properly and less than have of it died. Since then I have gone back to the store many times for many reasons and it has made a wonderful recovery excpept for that one spot. It is a wonderful coral and I am interested in it.
Is this a good Idea?
My tank is 46 gallons, bow front, 2 55 watt white pc, 1 55 watt atinic pc, prizm skimmer, two clowns, one goby, one blennie, one yellow tail blue damsel, mushroom corals, branch cualestrea, green lace gorgonian, feather duster, moon polyps, a cup coral (specific name unknown, but doing great), sump.
The temp is usually 75ish in the summer does reach 82,
The usual constant tests:
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
PH 8.2
Phosphate 0.1
I dose kalkwasser, I add Kent Tech CB, Kent Iodine, Kent Phytoplex, Kent Coral Vite, SeaChem Calcium, water change every other week.
Yes? or... No?
Oh and I feed the fish about every other day...Don't want to over feed.

Oh! Forgot to add.
The cost of the coral is about one third of the original price.
No one wants to buy it.

Also I do plan to upgrade my lights.
When I get a job. It is so hard around here with the new laws.
Any way I will eithere build my own Mh fixture.
That or if I build my own vho hood I can get more watts than with the pc.

Go for it. I'll be moving to Newport tomorrow and starting my 125gal setup.

Moving here for a pemenant home?
The way you said it before sounded like you would just be staying for awhile.
Well hope the move goes good and the tank is fine.

I have an anchor, my clowns love it too. If your clowns take to anything they may pester it! What type of lights is is thriving under now?! I have 4 vho and mine is half way up and loving it! Quite a bit of current too! Likes to be flappin in the breeze!

They did have it under Vho but they totally redid their salt water section with two large tanks. Very Nice Now it is under metal halide lights.
I am curing live rock right now to build up my rock work and will be getting more hopefully soon.
