Hi all (Im new to the boards) I was wondering what would look nice in a 2.5 nano aquarium. Any fish like damsel or clown or something else small? If not any inverts? And just out of curiousity for corals and anemones do you need flourescent lights?
Thanks for the help!

Welcome

In my opinion that is too small for fish.
You could have a hermit or two and some snails.
Anemones need fairly bright lighting like metal halide or something similar. Most all corals will need more light than regular flourescents can provide. Unless you use compact flourescent. It has better light spectrums.
Anyways 2.5 is WAY to small for an anemone.

If you really want to have something in a 2.5g then you're pretty much limited to LR and some crabs.

I have live rock, a mushroom rock, 2 snails , a scarlet crab and a perc clown in my 2.5 gal. All are doing quite well and mushrooms are growing like crazy too.
