Tank going well, now what?

[ndimuzio]

Okay.. my tank is working well! I have a ton of live rock and some random life that keeps poping up. I used a grouper to get rid of my damsel's since I couldnt catch them. I would like to have a ton of soft corals, anenome's and clown fish.. I have never done anything with Coral or Anenome's so what should I do first? Do I order online, is there certain ones that look great? Please advise!

Thanks!

This picture was taken just before I added the grouper.

Do CORALS first, especially softies: colts, mushrooms, leathers, ect.
I would wait a year before doing anenomes, and do some research, as many get very large.
Usually the bubble tips are recomended for clowns (BTA) and should be established before introducing clowns, as they have been known to "love" the anenome to death.
I am also a newbie, and this is the advice I have recieved from a LPS. So far he is right on the money

Can you send me links to the good types of Corals to get.. how do I attach them?

Salt water fish is a good site, but you should be able to get these anywhere.
