the rock on the left side of the tank is starting to grow some light purple stuff on it.... im really hoping its coraline, besides the ceriths do you think a couple more scarlet hermits would be to many....?

no more hermits. to me they dont do anything. they will just knock down everything. just get astrea, and nass

Well an anemone is out for a few months. They need to go into established tanks that are a "minimum" of 6 months old.
You just added the 2 clowns...what 1 week ago? Remember..you will not be able to add too much more livestock.
I think 2 weeks in between fish should be okay..as long as you are testing your water, and have NO changes.
I also think you can add zoas anytime you want.
Feather dusters are filter feeders. I do not see why you couldn't add one of these now.
Looking back...you may have a problem keeping an anemone with that pc light

Feather dusters will be the next thing to go into my tank. I think they are sooo neat. They are brown mostly, but if you want a bit of color you could go for a coco worm instead. They are basically the same as a feather duster, they just have a bright white tube with shorter, bushier feathers that are bright pink and white. Really cool looking. A bit pricier though.
All I said was that I would wait out this weekend between then at the least. If you add your fish too fast, you will become bored quickly. That is the biggest downside to a small tank...
Get a Zoo frag!!!! YAY!!! I would love to see some in your tank...

ok so ill be looking into hopefully a feather duster this weekend coming up along with maybe a firefish..
do u think i i place the anemone towards the top of the tank ne wehre in the middle where its gettings a direct amount of light should that make ne changes on how the anemone will live a long and heathy life in my tank..
ive already made my mind up on the live stock ill be getting regarding the coral ill just need to look into which ones have the most color and which ones will fit best in my tank.....

IDK...Before I got my MH lights, I tried everything, and killed quite a few anemones. Now my tank is also a lot bigger.
I did try an anemone in my 54g once under a dual satellite, that also died.
It's a risk, but remember, not to even think about it until the tank is over 6 months, and also the water has to be near perfect too
