How do you put corals and anemones into your tank?

I am a beginner to saltwater. I’ve grown bored with freshwater and so I moved over. I know a fair bit, and i already have a pretty succesful tank. It is a 9.1 gallon nano. I have about 5 pounds of live rock and a few fake corals in it. Along with 4 very happy and healthy fish. One royal gramma, one firefish, one scooter blenny, and one other fish that just came with the tank that im not sure the name of lol. My salinity is just fine, i bought a hydrometer to check it. Anyway, my question is, how do I put corals or anemones into my tank? Is this possible with a tank of my size? What anemones/corals can or will hurt my fish? Just all the basics on corals and anemones. Thanks.
I love that you got into saltwater tanks!
I’m not an expert at this, but I would definitely limit how many things you’re putting in your tank. Sounds like your tank could handle some coral, but as for the anemones, just put them in, they will find a spot that they like. Maybe you could get a type of clown fish for that anemone! Just set the coral up however you want it to look in your tank. If you get any more fish, watch out for damsels, all the ones I’ve had in the past were quite dominant, and picked on the other fish, but that’s just from my experience. Congratulations!
