Rather than list each item in that tank individually I'd rather refer you to a book called The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner. Excellent source of info for anyone interested in marine aquariums. If you search the SWF store you can find most everything that was displayed in that tank as well as compatibility and food requirement issues.

here is my list
Mushroom Polyp - Green Ricordea
Torch Coral
Green Carpet Anemone
Haddoni Carpet Anemone
Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
White Sebae Anemone
Crocea Clam - Gold
Derasa Clam - Orange
Maxima Clam - 1st Grade Blue
i have 180 gallon tank are these compatible or if not can you tell me what are

u should be fine just try to spread everything out so they arent touching each other

 

[fishieness]

yeah. the carpets may walk, so youd have to be careful, but if they stay put and nothign is touching anything you should be okay. also, most of those need very high lighting. id wait quite some time before thinking about clams or anemones.

 

[bighen]

what do you mean by walk

 

[fishycpa]

They move around in the DT in order to get comfortable. Their comfort level is based primarily on lighting and waterflow. They will move around until they are comfortable, but even then, there will always be the possiblity of them moving or walking.
