So since then i been trying to understand how corals work what good fish go with them so this is what i got so far...please comment away bad or good..iam posting this not only to show my tank but to understand if iam doing stuff right. Again iam still in the learning phase of corals.. enjoy!

    Hey Tony, and welcome to the world of reefing...great start..you'll probably regret buying so many Kenya trees in about 3 months..lol..I aslo seen a Yellow tail damsel in ur tank..they can get pretty nasty so keep ur eye on him. Also you maroon clown is beautiful, but he isnt beating your anemone up..he's trying to host it :) Once it gets bigger it will be a real pleasure to watch the two of them live together...I wish you the best of luck in your reefing adventures, remember go slow, and have patience and it will pay off in the end :)

    yeh i believe thats a grooming type thing..my percula's "suck" on their anemone all the time...maybe they like the feel of it stinging their mouth? I dunno but I consider it pretty normal, they dont seem to be bothering the anem by doing it

    Its normal, its part of the clown, anemone relationship. Its a way of cleaning it
