Cleaner shrimp and bubble tip anemone.

Clean up crew: a couple nassarius snails for the sand and red band trochus for your glass.

Way bleached. hopefully it will color back up. do you know if the tentacles are sticky?

a small emerald crab would take care of that gha and keep it knocked down almost to the point of hiding a nutrient problem.
I also think you should get another clown.

Still best to reduce your nutrients too or else it's going to be a constant battle. both wouldn't hurt together though.

just keep an eye on them, if they cant find enough food, keep in mind they are crabs. Crabs will go after fish if they cant scavange food and become hungry enough.

I keep mine at bay with once every couple of weeks I give them their own krill. (i have 5 in my 72 & 3 in a 14)

They wont go after the Dragons Breath through so there's that!
