Coraline usually starts out as small circles and grows slowly, which leads me to believe the red on your glass is something different. Does a mag float take it off easily?

Grape caulerpa, transfer it to your sump. As Flower said it grows very fast and once it gets a foothold in your tank it can be near impossible to remove (even with tangs as a few of my friends discovered).

How long was the rock out of the water?

Looks like a sebae to me as well. Definitely not a "starter" anemone. They need a mature tank with stable parameters and high lighting. Hope you ordered halides. Most sebaes that I have seen in stores are already bleached or dyed, making survival that much harder. I'd try and exchange them...

Two dwarfs in a 55 will more than likely result in fighting and a dead fish. A single dwarf would be fine but I would recommend adding 50-80 lbs of live rock and wait for it to mature before adding the dwarf. I would also pass on any tang in a 55. Brittle(not green) or serpent stars would be...

They eat portugese man o' wars, probably not readily available http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet/glauatla

Imo the zebra would be the best fit due to the clowns. The goldentail or jeweled would more than likely eat the clowns if the volitan does not get them first, it will eventually. If you try a ribbon, I've read that the black ones are "easier" to accept frozen. Keep an eye on the 2 tangs for...

The crabs did not eat the pods, the dragonet did. It exhausted the supply and more than likely starved to death. Not sure where you heard they eat algae but I would find a better source for future purchases. An eight gallon tank is not large enough for algae eating fish, they will eat the...

Puffers will make a quick meal out of them.

Sofies and zoas tend to be the "easiest". What is your lighting? Lighting really dictates what you can keep.

Tessys are the definition of aggressive. Once they gain some size, nothing is safe in a tank with them. Fimby's can also be quite aggressive, larger fish should be safe but it is a gamble. Mine ate a yellow tang that I figured was much too big to be eaten. My dragons aggression regarding...

They are horrible shippers, account for die-off when ordering.

The damsels are picked off slowly but surely. My LFS sells them to me at cost as long as I buy 25 or more at a time.

Fimby is with damsels(replaced as eaten), 4 fire, 2 cleaner shrimp, softies and lps. Workin with a blackberry-so pics aren't the best. Eats anything but seems to prefer squid, octopus, and shrimp

Have you thought about a fimbriated moray? I have one in a species 90, perfect fit. An aggressive fish that is not as shy as my dragon.

Buy a RO/DI unit and make your own, will save you money in the long run.

Have you read about their upkeep? They require nightly feedings and are pretty much sentenced to death in home tanks. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/vb/s...ht=basket+star This was the closest too success that I have seen.
