    I am a fan of having a pair of clowns they are awesome I would suggest maybe putting in a good sized frogspawn my clowns host in mine its really cool to see them hiding inside it. I have a yellow watchman goby he is great lots of personality, maybe you should consider a spot tail blenny lots of personality there as well. I would go red firefish they are more active I find my purple pair to hide most of the day they are very reclusive. Some other good reef-safe suggestions for fish would be a Six-line wrasse, Royal Gramma, flame hawkfish are great too....As far as corals go Im a huge fan of LPS frogspawn, torch, hammer, etc. SPS require pristine water conditions or they will die pretty easy LPS are a lot more hardy. Maxima clams are easy and add a lot of color...Good luck !

    Don't let him deter you with his preferences. Softies can add some nice movement to the tank and zoas have great colors. LPS would be candy canes, favias and other brain corals, frogspawn, torch and hammer, bubble coral for a few. Chalices are also LPS. Acans and duncans also.

    That might work pretty well. I wouldn't fo over about 4 fish though with a clown in there due to its heavy body type. It will use a lot of oxygen and create a lot more waste.

    Well I've had an ocellaris before with an algae blenny, neon velvet damsel, and like 3 chromis and it was fine, and besides i do water changes weekly so i dont think it should be a big problem. thanks again 2in10!
