I am in the research/planning stage for 55 gal aquarium. I would like to have a few elegant and bubble coral maybe a bubble anemones. (two different kinds from what I read..bubble coral that is) anyway... the fish I like are damsels, clowns, one canary blenney, one mandarin, and a pair of peacock gudgeons. Are these fish compatable? I have not been successful in finding out how large clown fish and damsels grow ??? What are your opinions on clownfish one pair of a few different kinds or just one individual of each kind... I've read they can be territorial? Thanks for the help!

Clowns are very territorial. And a 55 doesnt offer alot of territory. I'd start with one pair of the same species added at the same time. STEVE

Probably not enough LR in a 55 for a mandarin unless you have a large refugium. They need a large continuous supply of copepods. The rest should be OK though.
