OK! I had Clarkii in my tank. It was bothering my Percula Clownfish. all the time!
So I got pissed and I used a net to catch the fish. When I caught it I dropped him into the little fish jar.
Then my wife felt bad and said lets put him back, so I did!!!!!!

Days later, Clarkii was doing the same thing, bothering Percula. So I decided to catch him again and put him in the jar
and give it to the store for free.
Guess what? I couldn't catch that $@ther @#cker. I spend 2 Hours and I couldn't catch him.
Every time he would see the net, he would hide under the rocks. I didn't even put the net in tank
he would already hide!!!!!!!! Then I tried to catch him with something that is clear. I used soda
bottle. That didn't help as well. This is crzy! I had to put all the rocks on one side
and make a trap for him out of the glass, that I've took from my 8x11 portrait frame.
I used two of them. When he got trapped I took the net. When Clarkii saw the net,
he almost got a heart attack.
Now, clarkii is the worst fish. The only time to get them is when you set up
a new tank, and you just want to test the water, or put them with Biggest lion fish for food

If they die, at least you didn’t have to waste hours to catch and break the rock design!!!!

I gave it to the store.

Place the mushrooms in a low flow area with some rubble rock.
You can use a plastic container for tomatoes (the one with holes all in it) inverted to create a low flow spot. put rubble rock and the shrooms under the plastic container and put a rock on top to hold it in place. In a week the mushrooms should be attached to the rubble and you can glue the small rock to wherever you want..

With zoanthids, a lot depends on what type they are, but usually they're fast growers (1 polyp every 2-3 weeks)
You can try coral glue for the mushrooms or tying them down with some fishnet until they attach on their own, this usually takes about 10-14 days.

Yes, you can get a lemon peel.
Good advice: Make sure you feed it a well rounded diet that consists of algae.

LemonPeels are usually reef safe, but Coral Beauty and Flame Angels are usually a safer bet. It's always a risk with any dwarf angel but some are safer than others.
I don't recommend a dwarf at all right now, your tank is too new and they need a mature system with a lot of mature live rock to graze on.
You could get another clown, just make sure it's the same type and it's smaller than the one you have now.

In reguards to Angels, you can't keep the same genre of Angel together. You can keep different Angels together.Exp- A Queen Angel and a Emperor Angel you could keep in the same tank. I agree with the dwarf lion also, you could keep them. I already put up a list of Reef Safe Angels........Your just asking for reef trouble by putting in Angels that are questionable. But, its your tank.

There is a big difference between the suitability of large angels vs many dwarf angels in regards to how safe they are with corals.

Regal angels tend (do note that I only said 'tend' it's far from a guarantee) to leave most corals alone, except for zoas, which most will pick it. However Regal Angels are definitely an "expert only" fish, and feeding one "just shrimp," which I assume are either frozen cubes of brine or mysis, will certainly lead to it's demise. Please skip on a Regal..

I would say I mostly disagree with that. IMHO it has far more to do with the individual personalities and traits of each species, rather then saying just one species of a genre per tank. In your example, the Queen and Emperor have quite similar traits, more out in the open fish, that are usually bold and want to be the "ruler" of the tank. In a tank less then ideal, say a 125gal, I doubt the Emp and Queen would work. Where as a Majestic angel and an Asfur Angel, which are in the same genus, in that same 125gal, I would bet would get along well enough.
