as your referring to probably a grappel type anchor, its not weight you need to go by. You need to only pick one thats weak enough for you to be able to bend the prongs on if it gets stuck in the reef, and strong enough that it wont straighten up on its own in the light breeze.

Id guess and say one with 8-10mm prongs?
