Prolly get rid of the tube anemone.....they can be fish killers anyway.....

I would say the hermits......they have been known to eat corals occasionally

I would think you always need filtration but if you can get away without having it then kudos to you!!!

Ok......mandarin is hard to keep in a small tank.......bad idea unless you do a load of serious research.........two anemones is a big no no unless you have a very very large tank and with one you need at least a 20 gallon........the SPS corals you mentioned will require expensive lighting but...

+1 with Meowzer......and 1.025-1.030 is a huge difference........you should never fluctuate that much in your tank unless you are doing hypo treatment for ich. Good rule of thumb is approx 1.025 for reefs and 1.021 for fish only tanks. Inverts and corals generally require higher salinity to...

Okay, my fish, porcelain crab, zoos, and snails are here!! I am taking them home at lunch, putting them in the tank and then I will get photos up tonight.... I was at the LFS last night because they were having a sale of buy $100, get $25 off so I got some odds and ends I have been needing and...

Hmmmm, from the description on this site, it states that they are aquarium bred and able to survive in the aquarium and thrive.....am I missing something?

OMG He should replace it without question...Those fish are expensive!! I am so sorry to hear about your loss!! Please let us know if you get another one!!

Wow!! Thanks so much! I am going for alot of color with way more corals but it sure is taking a while....lol.........i wish i could just buy up all the awesome corals I see but slow is better anyway so it's prolly better that my money isnt unlimited....lol

mmmm, i am wondering if taking off the top might help too.........it doesn't look like much light is getting through??? if you don't have anything that is jumper that would be a good option....like firefish.

omg, so beautiful!! definitely get a closeup as soon as you can!!

Originally Posted by crypt keeper will they mix well? Anybody ever have this combo? I know its hit or miss but is it more on the hit side of things? They will prolly kill each other unless it is a very large tank honestly....

It's possible but.....he would be way way more likely to host a torch, frogspawn or even elegance........they are more like an anemone which is prolly why....

They are jumpers so make sure your tank is covered.......also, keep in mind if you are going to have corals that some small angels can be nippers although the coral beauty and flame are the least likely to do that.....
