Recently got a deal on a saltwater setup . 60x18x22 tank .

Trying to keep this setup at a low cost.

Below is all the corals and fish I jammed into my 13.5 till I got the 110 set up . Some help with coral identification would help . I know I have some Kenya trees hidden lol.

Now I need some recommendations on coral placements, water flow (I know I need more than just a marineland Maxi jet 1200), any other additional equipment. I’ll have to look what I have for lighting but I believe I’m good there with 3 lights, as well as stocking list .

There are
2 occelaris clowns
1 Frostbite clown
1 yellow tailed damsel
2 blue damsels
1 yellow faced Pygmy angel
1 twin spot anthias

Who should go in the big tank (if not all) ?

For coral IDs, I see:
Bubble tip anemones (not a coral, obviously)
Green star polyps in the top right
Candycanes in the bottom middle
Some kind of Favia/Favites in the middle
Zoa in the bottom left corner
Closed up toadstool leather in the reflection in the left panel

Fish for keeping:
I would keep all, except keep a pair of the clowns and ditch the third.

You would have some room for a couple other fish too.

What’s the mushroom type thing bottom left beside the candy canes ? And is that a large Kenya tree top right at the back ?

The small clown will stay in the small tank. Plan on using it to start some corals/ keep small plugs on racks/ quarantine tank . All the damsels are fine together ?

In the very bottom left is another anemone.
To the right of that looks like a small toadstool leather, Sarcophyton.
The next pinkish thing could be another anemone or something else. I can't quite tell from the pic.
The next one on the frag plug by the candycanes, I can't tell at all from this view.

And is that a large Kenya tree top right at the back ?
It's something along the lines of a Kenya tree, colt coral, finger leather type coral. I'm not great on specifics there.

All the damsels are fine together ?
In a 110, I think you have a good chance. The Chrysiptera genus of damsels like those are the most easy going damsels. I would keep them.

Thanks for all the reply’s! Now what about flow and lights , Currently I have a aqueon 700 on the other end of the return, I have a topfin pro 200 canister filter (was thinking of adding a vca random flow nozzle to the return) , I have a marineland maxi jet 1200 that I can’t seem to get working properly so I want to replace that .

For lights I have a joy hill , Fluval/Hagen , zoo med aqua sun . All cheap lights I think .

What should I be using for flow and what lights should I be using. , I want to keep this on the cheaper end ,
