Iivestock suggestions. First reef tank

[kyrialis]

I think ive made my decision as what i should add/do with my 10 gallon tank. I have 2 clownfish and 5 crabs. I want to get some test kits and some more filteration like phoguard, perigen, and a bioblock. I also want to get a coral dip and some test kits. Ill go to LFS to chang my water to rodi water and then i plan on adding.

A clown goby
Cleaner shrimp
Pom pom xenia
Frogspawn
Hammer coral
Torch coral
Ricordea florida mushroom
Blue clovers polys
Lavender mushroom
Maybe some snails

I would really like to have frogspawn, hammer, and torch coral all together on their own rock. I dont think ill be able to have all of that but those are the livestock ive narrowed it down too. What do you guys think???[emoji3166][emoji2955][emoji848]

Should work, you'll be pretty packed for space and beware of euphyllia, they have sweepers tentacles, some up to 6" long which will damage nearby corals, shouldnt bother other euphyllia but regardless it limits your space, also xenia are beautiful but can spread rapidly...things to consider

Thanks for the help im been aware of these corals and i plan on keeping the euphyllia in their own island so they wouldnt bother other coral and xenia on their own island as well to prevent over growth

Looks ok, echoing Aco5000 just watch placement at night when the sweepers come out. Another shrimp option that I'm a fan of in small tanks are Sexy shrimp, always seem entertaining and you could have multiples.

just a bit of warning. torches can sting frogspawns and hammers. mine really screwed up a head of a frogspawn

also im pretty sure that xenias drop polyps that float elsewhere to make new colonies so isolation on rock wont eliminate all possibilities of tank overtake lol
