Cross off the mandarin and leave the nems in the ocean. Just my 2 cents.

 

Cross off the Mandarin? Why? I personally already have one, and he's been in my tank for almost a year now. Trust me, I have enough pods for him. Now the Anemone, I wasn't 100% sure on. Thanks man.

 

You made it sound like you are starting a tank and listing your livestock you want. Mandarins should only be placed into established tanks, and larger ones for that. I don't like the brittle star or the urchin. Brittle stars get big and can knock over things. Urchins are worse and not only knock over corals and such, but also can injure corals with their spines. Everything else sounds good.

 

IMO a 55 wouldn't be big enough long term for the mandarin.

 

Ohh, I see. No, my tank has been up and running for almost a year now. I just wanted everyone's opinion. :-[

Ohh, and I love your tank GuitarMan89.
