My 25 gallon tank

Emergency. This is the second time this has happened to me. Shortly after my tank finished cycling I got a pair of clownfish. Within a week they got white spots(which I identified as ich or brooklynella). They died within 3 days of me noticing the White spots. I couldn't get them to eat and they wound up starving/succumbing to the parasites Ive had my new pair for 3 weeks now and today I noticed that they've got it again. Nothing else in my tank does. (Or my shrimp has been keeping them clean since everyone but the clowns get cleaned). I don't have the ability to set up a hospital tank and as such im really worried that these aren't going to make it. These ones are still eating for now but I'm not happy about this. Especially since they're one of my favourite fish and I spent $40 on them.

So due to me trusting my dad to pick out a coral (no coral -.-). I have wound up with a sebae anemone (heteractis crispa I believe) I know I'm not really ready but given that ive got 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate and stronger lights than the store it came from Ive decided to give it a shot. As of putting it in the tank it's still sticky(my shrimp keeps getting his antennae stuck) It's a light tan but not bleached best I can tell. Apparently according to my dad it had an occelaris in it at the store and when the lady grabbed it out the clown didn't want to leave and kept swimming back to it so I'm really hoping it will host mine If it starts to prove to be more than I can handle I may consider giving it away or selling it to someone

My sebae has been doing ok

Evidently it decided it wanted the spot my torch coral was in so I had to move that before it got stung



It keeps moving around but it's not bleaching or anything. My clownfish are completely ignoring it
 
The nem is still alive. It's not sticky but it's not bleaching so I'm hoping it was just the stress of the move

My royal gramma went carpet surfing so I bought a banggai Cardinal
 
Anemone is gone. Gave it to my friends cousin. She's gonna try saving it in her qt tank. He banggai was killed by my puffer who apparently just didn't like it

White bulb went out so my tank looks really blue since I don't have an extra white right now

I won this 8 head acan in a contest. By far one of the most expensive corals I will own when I get it.

I won an awesome rainbow acan with 8heads in a contest on Instagram and got a freebie acan with 3 heads. I'm really happy with them. I wish I could get better pics. And I think I've started an acan addiction.
 
Nice Lord! :D

My acan is up from 8 heads(originally 5 large 3 tiny) to 10 possibly 11 heads now. Hard to get a pic of them all because of the angles.

Been a long time since my last update
In that time I had a crash and got some new corals. And fish. Rescaped and got rid of my faux coral completely (the barnacles are for one of my blennies)

Current stock list:

Fish:
Yellowtail damsel(the only original tank inhabitant)
Three stripe damsel
Pair of occelaris clowns
Green spotted puffer
Tailspot blenny
Lawnmower blenny


Corals:

Purple grape monticap
2 heads of hammer coral
2 heads of frogspawn
Palythoa
Xenia
Duncan frag with two heads
And I just added a new torch as my first basically melted to nothing but this guy wasn't very healthy when I got him so it's tentatively on here

Inverts:
Hawaiian feather duster
Tiny white feather duster
Various snails and others

Not much has changed equipment wise lately
