Coral and Anemone Compatability

I downgraded my 65 to a 15 gallon nano and I am not so sure about the compatability between corals and my RBTA. Is there a useful website or resource that I can use to get the compatability between my corals with each other, and my corals to my anemone (coral to coral compatibility chart).

I currently have some LPS (Torch, Duncan, Trumpet) and some soft (Zoas, GSP, Mushroom) and an RBTA. I also have a frag of birdsnest (first SPS). What is the compatability between these items. They are mostly all frags.

There is no such thing as "coral compatibility chart". Rarely there are any coral that is "compatible" with another coral, that's why a corals should not touch another coral.

Some corals can touch and nothing bad happens. But anemones are going to be a problem with other corals....especially in a tank that small.

If if it were me, id get rid of the corals or the nem. But not both due to very limited space. Some will even say that is too small of a tank for an anemone

meh....

anemone VS LPS, anemone moves.

anemone VS SPS .... SPS dies.

tht is if they are touching.

if you keep the BTA happy, there is no reason for it to wonder around.

I used to have a 25 G with SPS and anemone, so it can work, but be sure to run GAC to get rid of any chemical wars.
