    I agree :) just from the research ive been doing. so what about urchins? it says that clingfish like them, but are they as difficult as anemones?

    Urchins are cool! i dont know anything about them though...But i dont think they are that hard honestly...Everything can be easy to keep as long as your tank is stable, people say the coral i have is somewhat harder to keep, but that just means they are more sensitive to changes, when they are hardy it means they adapt quicker to changes in the water...but if you stick with weekly water changes and watch our salinity you should be fine.

    She hasn't started her tank so idk, I use oceanic cause it's cheaper and it has 500 calc so no dosing needed.

    I am going to do coral, and if you all wouldnt mind, on liveaquaria, what coral would be best? I want a variety and color, plus keeping in mind the fish i want (clowns, yellow stripe clingfish, wheeler shrimp goby, shrimp)
