Stocking ideas for 10gal nano reef?

[Benjamin Lyons]

Hi all! After about a month now I can confidently say the tank has cycled. Just looking for some opinions on stocking ideas. I would like to do a clown pair and maybe a shrimp with some hermits. Also what corals could you see In there? I'd like to do some easy beginner softies (with cost and ease of care to be taken into account) let me know what you would do! Thanks!

Possum wrasse, they are pretty, unique, and very social. Perfect for nano tanks. As for corals, I'd start with maybe a trumpet and some other easy lps. I wouldn't get fast growing softies since they would take up too much space, just some lps frags that will grow in nicely. And yes, definitely a shrimp and some crabs! Fire shrimp would be neat. Good luck!

Welcome to R2R! Congrats on the newly cycled tank. Low cost and easy to care for coral might result in invasive growth. Just sayin'.

Personally, and how you have it aquascaped, I think rock flower anemones, zoas, and a bubble tip nem would look great.

10 gallons?

Yes. Not saying all of these......any of these groups which these fish tend to be smaller and stay smaller in size.
Example- 3 firefish gobies or 3 percula clowns or a firefish goby, a percula clown and a 4 lined wrasse
