I have a navarculus angel (blue-girdled) and Ive had him for about a month now with little to no problems he picks on one of my leather corals but does not do any damage to it. I have sps, lps, and some polyps all which he does not bother.

Salt levels do not have any effect on the nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia levels only bacteria and filtration have effect on those as well as water changes.

That is just your tank beginning its cycle its nothing to be worried about it will eventually go away. The only thing you can do is clean the glas with a scraper.

The amount of light all depends on the depth of you tank and the amount of light or watts that the fixture you are looking at produces. Also some anemones have different light requirements than others.

I have a clown goby in my tank they love to hide on corals and in your rock display. I f you can try moving your rocks around if you are very concerned, otherwise it may be a few days until you see it make its appearence as they are somewhat shy fish.

IN saltwater the rule of thumb is one inch per two gallons not one. And even with that like previously stated that is a crude representation as some fish like the hippo grows not just long but wide and tall taking up more inches than just its length.

The best place to place the probe is near the equipment as the electrical current will be traveling to that point and the shorter the distance the less likely it will pass to your fish.

I know there is a way to check dissolved oxygen in a tank but I dont know the method, you could start a post with that as the subject line. As far as the grounding probe the only thing I can think is that maybe and this is a maybe the fish was already on its way out being possibly stressed by...
