    Odd pair

    Condy Anemones are white with occassional colored tips. I had one and my clowns never paid it any attention. I've read that it's very rare for them to host in a Condy, you got lucky.

    domino damsel?

    Damsels should be called Devils ...They are aggressive and will stress your future inhabitants...I would not have added them in the beginning if I had been warned. After 3 hours of fishing I am left with 1 of 6 in my tank, he hid in the rock and survived being out of water.

    New Coral Beauty

    It took my Coral Beauty about a week before it would eat, and atleast a month before she would come to the front of the tank. She eats everything now, and really likes a garlic additive.

    Gotta lazy Yellow Watchman Goby!

    My diamond goby stayed in his caves most of the time until I removed the damsels , I guess they were picking on him. My Niger Trigger "shifts" more sand than my goby.

    Nitrate Problem

    My nitrates have remained at 20 since cycling, so I tested my (tap) water and it was 20. I don't have anywhere to put a RO unit so I'm going to start using distilled water for top off and water changes. Do you use tap water? Have you tested the water before adding it to your tank?

    My first saltwater tank

    Tank Looks nice. A solid background wouldn't take away from the inhabitants. BTW, I think that's Aiptasia beside your frogspawn.

    Cleaners?

    Money cowries can go in a small tank, 10 gal +, but Tiger cowries need a large tank, 100 gal or more. How long are you keeping your lights on? I reduced my light cycle and quit using flake food and my brown went away.

    Coraline algae

    I noticed something like that on my glass after about a month. The LFS said is was probably copepods. After purchasing Marine Invertebrates 500+ Essential to Know Aquarium Species they look similar to spiral tube feather dusters, pg 221. But I'm still not sure. I've just let them be, they are...
