Not much happing to the tank but my copepod population exploded. I’m trying to decide on adding some type of heavy grade sand.

I think you will find you have too many different anemones for such a small tank. One or two strains will do well at the expense of the others. Another thing to consider is they should quickly grow to the point you have no room for anything else in such a small tank. I have 4 that are 10-14” each, another 8 that are 6-9” and 4 smaller ones.

James. You should get a pair of porcelain crabs. They’ll be such a nice addition.

Been hesitant about getting some because the clowns like too nip everything, including my hands

Lol. No one believes me when I say clowns are little devils. I like them but I won’t keep them anymore.

Tank has changed a ton since I last updated this thread.
The midnight clown went rouge and killed everyone in the tank. She was alone for awhile but I recently got a tail bot damsel and they’ve been getting along nicely. Current inhabitants are:
1 midnight clown
1 tail damsel
1 Sherman
1 rainbow
1 ultra rainbow
5 greens
Everything seems to be thriving. Currently trying to get a waterbox 10 setup so I can move all the coral over and do a mixed reef.
