Awesome New Tonga, Aquascape, and Corals

I just bought two big pieces of Tonga rock off of somebody local so I decided to aquascape yet again. One piece is on the left of the tank and the other is on the right. I also started getting in some corals and they seem to be doing well. And yes, there are too many anemones in the tank, but I am only keeping the extra ones in there until my other 55 is ready for them. I plan to put my backdrop back on sometime next week after I work on modifying my protein skimmer to fit. Any aquascaping suggestions would be appreciated.

Yeah, its a chocolate chip star. He'll get moved with the anemones. Was told if I kept him fed he wouldn't touch my corals...and he hasn't.

Your tank looks awesome! I dont want to be the bearer of bad news but in the future that angel will require a larger tank! its alright in there for now as its still a juvi but they grow pretty quick so in a year or so he will have to be moved..if not sooner! The tang is fine in there! plenty of room for him! just get that angel eating because that can be difficult at first!

Thanks for the advice Acroshark. I knew when I bought him that I would eventually have to sell him (got him for $20, couldn't resist) but that time will probably come sooner than I assumed. I thought he was getting stressed, but turns out he's just starting to change color!!! He's eating great right now, only took a day to get him to nail on his food plus the brine shrimp I feed the tang. I'll probably end up selling the Tang eventually too when he gets too big if I can't upgrade.

Yeah, small dosages about twice a week. I feed my anemones mostly brine shrimp though. They seem to be doing well on it. Thanks for the compliments cafero, do you feed him only krill?
