Hi all! Great to have found this site. Already got an answer about a mystery coral I had and pretty quick. I was into the hobby 15 yrs ago I had a 68? Gallon Red Sea max. Now I have a little 32 gallon biocube I’m trying to make into a reef tank. The plan was to just get an angler fish and that’s it but I really wanted coral. Tried to cycle with the angler and he didn’t make it. Now I have a maroon clown which may be able to live with the angler but I may nix that and just focus on the coral. I went a little overboard since I know it’s cycled and loaded the tank with corals. Is that a problem if it’s cycled?

Here are pics of the old redsea (first pic) and the new tank: sorry they aren’t the best shots. Also I have 2 anemones in there and both have wedged themselves in the back…any tips on getting them to move to a better spot?

Welcome to the community! I always read to had 1 - 3 items once cycled, and leave it for a few weeks, and then add a bit more. However, some people don't follow that and their tanks turned out fine.
