Hello all.

Currently I have a cleaning crew few Hermit Crabs and a couple Turbo snails and a cleaning Shrimp.

As for fish I have two Blue/Green Cromis. One being extremly territorial towards the other one...

I wonder if you'd recommend me some nice begginer corals. Is it also viable getting a couple Clownfish too? I like them they seem cute.

Greetings!

I can’t open your attachment, but for a fish-stocking question people will want to know ‘what size tank / what dimensions?’

Tank is 17 gallons.. and around 4 gallons is for the internal sump

Its a nano cube

I got the video to open on my desktop-- your fish seem as if they are enjoying themselves. ;Joyful

You mentioned having "two Blue/Green Cromis" but didn't I see three (3)? That's a small tank that will fill up quickly-- so choose carefully; I'm not sure whether a clown would get picked on (or vice-versa). Maybe a Pink (or Orange) Skunk Clown.

I see 3 also. I would normally recommend only 3 small fish for a 17g.
I would avoid adding any other fish for a few months until your tank becomes more stable and established.
Great starter corals are mushrooms and zoanthids or palys.
Your tank looks great. I like the green chromis. They were the first fish I added to my reef as well. After 15 months, my 135g reef now has over 20 fish including my original 3 green chromis.
