Keep a close eye on it around those corals, sometimes angelfish will pick at them, possibly killing them.

Since you are going with a fowlr set up, I second looking into some decorative macro algae for your display tank. It is really pretty and will add color if you get the right kinds. However, as has already been mentioned, many fish like tangs will eat the macro algae so they may not be...

I would definitely not treat the display tank with copper based medication because copper is deadly to corals and inverts and will linger. If you go with treatment with a copper medication you must use a quarantine tank to do so (assuming you want to keep corals and or inverts in your display...

If there are NO inverts remaining in your system, I would just treat the ich in the big tank with a hypo treatment so that you don't ruin the tank with copper medication. If I was in your shoes and still had inverts in the tank, I would take any remaining inverts out to your hospital tank, then...

Yep they are diatoms.

I would not recommend maroon clowns though, just because of how aggressive they can be.

I don't own this type of fish, but the yellow candy hogfish is a fish you might want to look at.

We need a detailed description or photo of it.

The hermits will kill the snails for their shells D:

And I assume you mean anemone when you said ammenami. An older more established tank is usually needed to sustain an anemone. They also usually need powerful lighting. Is the lighting you have powerful enough?

Keep an eye on it. Check for signs of ich and what not. It may just be stressed out from the move. Also, there is no way at all that you can keep a tang in a 29 gallon tank. They need a lot of space to swim, waay more than what you can provide in a 29 gallon.

Algae growth is caused by poor water quality that has too many extra nutrients in it. The direct sunlight will make it a lot easier for the algae to grow. However, if you keep your water of good quality, even with a window next to it, you can limit algae growth. If you can grow macro algae in...

Can you get a photo of it?

But the parasite can turn up on the fish and then head on to the next stage in one day?

Hmm. Thats unusual.

The only thing is the Angler might eat your inverts so if you have inverts I would definitely not get the Angler.

I'm just thinking here so more research would be needed but what about an angler fish? Some people find them ugly but I find them quite beautiful. They are semi aggressive and could probably hold their own against the damsel. However, I have never kept either a damsel or an angler and...

Oh and regarding your stock list, The issue with the fish you are keeping is just as much aggression as it is size. Chromis and Clownfish are both territorial, aggressive fish and in a small tank like yours territory is limited, increasing aggression. I would take the chromis back as chromis...

The reason I suggested what I did is because Ich won't be cured with medication in one day, and being kept for a couple weeks in that small of an aquarium would really stress out the fish, weakening it and possibly allowing the Ich to kill the fish in its weakened state. If you choose to turn...
