    Thank you! I'm planning for a pair of clowns, maybe an anenome, and a flame angel. What do you guys think? I love the colors of the flame. And the anenome is very interesting to me.

    My advice is to read up on keeping an anemone. They are one of my favorite creatures! The clown/anemone relationship is so intriguing to me.

    Welcome to 3reef!
    I would definitely hold off on the anemone for about a year. They are too sensitive for new setups.
    Clowns and flames are very beautiful fish for sure.
    I would suggest doing a ton of research before you add anything. Also plan ahead. What are your plans with the tank. What do you plan on keeping?
    Do this before so there are no headaches and heartbreaks later on down the road.
    Again welcome to 3reef. People here are awesome and very knowledgable.
