TRy it and see. Lol.
I recommended a fungia because it's a low light coral that accepts food easy and does ok in small water volumes. Clams and open brains like more stable water conditions and Prestine water conditions. Soft corals will do very well in your tank. Zoas, shrooms, Xenia, anthellia, GDP, etc.
But do what you want. It's your tank!

I don't see why not. fogspawn, bubble coral, hammer coral, fox coral would all be good. Though, I would caution you to only pick one or two and put them in totally separate corners of the tank.

One advantage to Euphillia sp. is that you can usually place different species next to each other without them sending sweepers everywhere. So you could get different colored Torch, Hammer, and Frogspawn to make a nice full display.
Did we already discuss Clownfish in a 10 gallon?

lights are off already, i will tomorrow, its basically just gotten steadily smaller, and the ends of the feathers(?) or curling up a little bit. i knew it was too early as well but i bought it anyways and it was probably a bad idea. its a learning experience i guess. My next purchase is a test kit. once all my levels are at zero what do i do from there? also any idea for something to clean up the sand a bit?

nassarius snails do a pretty good job of turning the sandbed over. That's about it for your size tank.

okay thats what i figured. a sand sifting star needs a lot more sand to roam around in. hopefully my lfs can order a couple for me. thanks snake. i guess my next update will be when i get a test kit and see what the levels are of my water. hopefully that will be soon!

Cerith Snails can also be good for that size tank.
There's a species of mini-brittle Starfish that can live in sand but I was never able to acquire any.
Most species of Fireworm can help clean up the sandbed, there are a few to shy away from but they are fairly uncommon.
Also other Bristleworms like Cirratulid (Hair Worms) and Terebellids (Spaghetti Worms) can pick detritus off the surface as well as under the sandbed.

Snake had a good suggestion but what I like about the five options I gave are that they can regulate their population depending on availability of detritus in the sand bed. If it's a fairly clean substrate there won't be a lot of them, if it's dirty you'll see a bunch of them.

I would think that some of those suggestions would be free on good quality live rock...
I was just thinking of something the OP could buy and add to the tank. (I guess I sometimes revert to my old fish store days, lol!)
